LyicsSOUL, then know thy full salvation,
Rise o'er sin and fear and care,
Joy to find in every station;
Something still to do or bear;
Think what Spirit dwells within thee,
Think what Father's smiles are thine;
Think that Jesus died to save thee:
Child of heaven, canst thou repine?
Haste thee on from grace to glory,
Armed by faith, and winged by prayer:
Heaven's eternal day's before thee-
God's own hand shall guide thee there.
Soon shall close thy earthly mission;
Soon shall pass thy pilgrim days;
Hope shall change to glad fruition,
Faith to sight, and prayer to praise.
