O When Shall We Sweetly Remove,
O When Shall We Enter Our Rest,
Return To The Zion Above,
The Mother Of Spirits Distrest!
That City Of God The Great King,
Where Sorrow And Death Are No More;
But Saints Our Immanuel Sing,
And Cherub And Seraph Adore.
Not All The Archangels Can Tell
The Joys Of That Holiest Place,
Where Jesus Is Pleased To Reveal
The Light Of His Heavenly Face;
When Caught In The Rapturous Flame,
The Sight Beatific They Prove,
And Walk In The Light Of The Lamb,
Enjoying The Beams Of His Love.
Thou Know’st, In The Spirit Of Prayer,
We Long Thy Appearing To See,
Resigned To The Burden We Bear,
But Longing To Triumph With Thee:
‘Tis Good At Thy Word To Be Here,
‘Tis Better In Thee To Be Gone,
And See Thee In Glory Appear,
And Rise To A Share In Thy Throne.
To Mourn For Thy Coming Is Sweet,
To Weep At Thy Longer Delay;
But Thou, Whom We Hasten To Meet,
Shalt Chase All Our Sorrows Away.
The Tears Shall Be Wiped From Our Eyes,
When Thee We Behold In The Cloud,
And Echo The Joys Of The Skies,
And Shout To The Trumpet Of God.
