Lyics'TIS faith surmounts these lower skies,
And looks within the veil;
There springs of endless pleasure rise,
The waters never fail.
There I behold with sweet delight,
The blest, the glorious One,
And strong affections fix my sight,
On God's beloved Son.
Light are the pains that nature brings,
How short our sorrows are?
When with eternal mansions things
Now present we compare.
I would not be a stranger still,
To that celestial place,
Where I forever hope to dwell,
Near my Redeemer's face.
