Verse 1
Where shall true believers go,
When from the flesh they fly?
Glorious joys ordain’d to know
They mount above the sky,
To that bright celestial place;
There they shall in raptures live
More than tongue can e’er express,
Or heart can e’er conceive.

Verse 2
When they once are entred there,
Their mourning days are o’er,
Pain, and sin, and want, and care,
And sighing is no more:
Subject then to no decay
Heavenly bodies they put on,
Swifter than the lightning’s ray,
And brighter than the sun.

Verse 3
But their greatest happiness,
Their highest joy, shall be
God their Saviour to possess,
To know, and love, and see:
With that beatific sight
Glorious extasy is given,
This is their supream delight,
And makes an heaven of heaven.

Verse 4
Him beholding face to face,
To him they glory give,
Bless his name, and sing his praise,
As long as God shall live,
While eternal ages roll,
Thus employ’d in heaven they are:
Lord, receive my happy soul
With all thy servants there!
