LyicsHaste my soul arise,
Shake off thy care,
Press to thy native skies-
Mighty in prayer.
Christ, he has gone before,
Count all thy sufferings o'er:
He all thy burdens bore-
Jesus is there.
Souls for the marriage feast,
Robed and prepared-
Holy must be such guests:
Jesus is there!
Saints, wear your victory palms,
Chaunt your Celestial psalms,
Bride of the Lamb, thy charms,
Oh! let me wear.
Heaven's bliss is perfect, pure-
Jesus is there!
Heaven's bliss is ever sure-
Thou art its heir.
What makes its joys complete-
What makes its hymns so sweet:
There we our friends will greet-
Jesus is there.
