Text and translations

English text Now can my soul in God rejoice, I feel my Saviour's cheering voice: My heart awakes to sing his praise And longs to join immortal lays. The kingdom of my Lord is come, This day I've found my father's home; O might I rove from him no more Long as I tread this mortal shore. Hold me, O Jesus, in thine arms, And cheer me with immortal charms, Till I awake in realms above For ever to enjoy thy love.
