1. My gracious redeemer I'll love, | |||
His praises aloud I'll proclaim, | |||
And join with the armies above | |||
To shout his adorable name. | |||
To gaze on his glories divine | |||
Shall be my eternal employ, | |||
And feel them incessantly shine, | |||
My boundless ineffable joy. | |||
2. He freely redeemed with his blood, | |||
My soul from the confines of hell, | |||
To live on the smiles of my God, | |||
And in his sweet presence to dwell; | |||
To shine with the angels of light, | |||
With saints and with seraphs to sing, | |||
To view, with eternal delight, | |||
My Jesus, my Savior, my King.}} | |||

3. In Meshek, as yet, I reside, | |||
A darksome and restless abode! | |||
Molested with foes on each side, | |||
And longing to dwell with my God. | |||
O, when shall my spirit exchange | |||
This cell of corruptible clay, | |||
For mansions celestial, and range | |||
Through realms of ineffable day! | |||
4. My glorious redeemer! I long | |||
To see thee descend on the cloud, | |||
Amidst the bright numberless throng, | |||
And mix with the triumphing crowd. | |||
O, when wilt thou bid me ascend, | |||
To join in thy praises above, | |||
To gaze on thee, world without end, | |||
And feast on thy ravishing love?}} | |||

5. Nor sorrow, nor sickness, nor pain, | |||
Nor sin, nor temptation, nor fear, | |||
Shall ever molest me again, | |||
Perfection of glory reigns there. | |||
This soul and this body shall shine | |||
In robes of salvation and praise, | |||
And banquet on pleasures divine, | |||
Where God his full beauty displays. | |||
6. Ye palaces, scepters, and crowns, | |||
{{ | Your pride with disdain I survey; | ||
Your pomps are but shadows and sounds; | |||
And pass in a moment away: | |||
The crown that my Savior bestows, | |||
Yon permanent sun shall outshine; | |||
My joy everlastingly flows, | |||
My God, my Redeemer is mine.}} | |||
