LyicsTHERE is a world of perfect bliss
Above the starry skies;
Oppress'd with sorrows and with sins,
I thither lift my eyes.
''Tis there the weary are at rest,
And all is peace within;
The mind, with guilt no more oppress'd,
Is tranquil and serene.
Discord and strife are banish'd thence,
Distrust and slavish fear;
No more we hear the pensive sigh,
Or see the falling tear.
Farewell to earth and earthly things:
In vain they tempt my stay;
Come, angels, spread your joyful wings,
And bear my soul away.
