1 verse:
Let me go, let me go
From this turmoil here below;
For my soul, to Jesus turning,
Is for yonder mansions yearning,
There is perfect rest to know.
2 verse:
Sweetest Light, sweetest Light,
Sun that puttest clouds to flight,
When shall I appear before Thee,
And with all Thy saints adore Thee,
Dwelling in Thy glory bright?
3 verse:
Ah, how clear, ah, how clear
Ring those angel voices dear!
How my soul for wings is sighing,
That, o'er vale and mountain flying,
I in Zion may appear!
4 verse:
What shall be, what shall be
All the joy in store for me?
Lord, I know not, eyes are holden,
Till Jerusalem the golden,
In its beauty I shall see!
5 verse:
Paradise, Paradise,
Fairest truths delights our eyes;
Where thy verdant trees are planted,
Bliss beyond our dreams is granted:
Take us, Lord, to Paradise.
