Verse 1
The way of all the earth I go
To my celestial place,
And only wait in Christ to know
The God of pard’ning grace:
Verse 2
To find the heart by Jesus bought,
The heart-transforming love,
And feel the peace-surpassing thought,
The pledge of joys above.
Verse 3
That heavenly kingdom, Lord, within
My new-born soul restore,
And cancel and extirpate sin
By love’s almighty power:
Verse 4
The grace affectionate infuse;
And when of love possess’d,
From chains of flesh my spirit loose,
And take me to thy breast.
