LyicsO sing to me of heav'n,
When I am call'd to die!
Sing songs of holy ecstasy
To waft my soul on high.
When cold and sluggish drops
Roll off my marble brow,
Burst forth in strains of joyfulness;
Let heav'n begin below.
When the last moment comes,
O watch my dying face,
And catch the bright seraphic gleam
Which o'er each feature plays.
Then to my raptured ears
Let one sweet song be given;
Let music cheer me last on earth
And greet me first in heav'n.
Then round my lifeless clay
Assemble those I love,
And sing of heav'n, delightful heav'n,
My glorious home above!
