Dawn on these realms of woe and sin; Fain would we leave this weary road, And sleep in death, to rest with God. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. ALBAN

To Holy Ghost be praises, To Father, and to Son; The Church her voice upraises To Thee, blest Three in One. Languages: English Tune Title: LORELEI (SALUTAS)

Its evils in a moment end, Its joys as soon are past; But, O the bliss to which I tend Eternally shall last! 3 To that Jerusalem above With singing I repair; While in the flesh, my hope and love, My heart and soul, are there: There my exalted Saviour stands, My merciful High Priest, And still extends His wounded hands To take me to His breast.

The streams on earth I've tasted, More deep I'll drink above: There to an ocean fulness His mercy doth expand, And glory glory dwelleth In Immanuel's land. 3 With mercy and with judgment My web of time He wove, And aye the dews of sorrow Were lustred by His love; I'll bless the hand that guided, I'll bless the heart that planned, When throned where glory dwelleth In Immanuel's land. 4 I've wrestled on towards heaven, 'Gainst storm and wind and tide; Now, like a weary traveller That leaneth on his guide, Amid the shades of evening, While sinks life's lingering sand, I hail the glory dawning In Immanuel's land.
