3 There, where my blessed Jesus reigns
In heaven's unmeasur'd space,
I'll spend a long eternity

In pleasure and in praise.

4 Millions of years my wondering eyes
Shall o'er thy beauties rove,
And endless ages I'll adore
The glories of thy love.

1 COME on, my partners in distress,
My comrades through the wilderness,
Who still your bodies feel;

A while forget your griefs and fears,
And look beyond this vale of tears,

To that celestial hill.

2 Beyond the bounds of time and space
Look forward to that heavenly place, Long
The saints' secure abode :

On faith's strong eagle pinions rise,
And urge your passage to the skies,
And scale the mount of God.

3 Who suffer with our Master here,
Shall all before his face appear,
And by his side sit down:

To patient faith the prize is sure:
And all that to the end endure

The cross, shall wear the crown.

4 The great mysterious Deityy no H FI We soon with open face shall see,

The beatific sight

Shall fill heaven's sounding courts with praise, And wide diffuse the golden blaze

Of everlasting light.

5 The Father shining on his throne,
The glorious, co-eternal Son,
The Spirit, One and Seven,
Conspire our rapture to complete ;
And, lo, we fall before his feet,

And silence heightens heaven.
6 In hope of that ecstatic pause,
Jesus, we now sustain the cross,
And at thy footstool fall;
Till thou our hidden life reveal,
Till thou our ravish'd spirits fill,
And God be All in All!

I shall on eagles' wings upborne,
To heaven ascend:

I shall his power adore,
And sing the wonders of his
