Lyics

SINCE I can read my title clear,

To mansions in the skies,

I'll bid farewell to every fear,

And wipe my weeping eyes.



Should earth against my soul engage,

And fiery darts be hurl'd,

Then I would smile at Satan's rage,

And face a frowning world.



Let cares, like a wild deluge, come,

And storms of sorrow fall,

May I but safely reach my home,

My God, my heav'n, my all.



There shall I bathe my weary soul

In seas of heav'nly rest;

And not a wave of trouble roll

Across my peaceful breast.
