LyicsUp to the fields where angels lie,
And living waters gently roll;
Fain would their thoughts ascend on high
But sin hangs heavy on their soul.
O might they once mount up and see
The glories of th' eternal skies,
How vain a thing this world would be!
How empty all its fleeting joys!
Great All in All-Eternal King,
May they but humbly seek thy face,
Then all their powers shall bow and sing
Thine endless grandeur and thy grace.
