LyicsMAY I but read my title clear
To mansions in the skies,
I bid farewell to every fear,
And wipe my weeping eyes,
Should earth against my soul engage,
And hellish darts be hurl'd,
Then I can 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.
