How happy every child of grace

Author: Charles Wesley (1707-88) Hymnal: The Song Book of the Salvation Army #880 (1986) Topics: The Life to Come Lyrics: 1 How happy every child of grace Who knows his sins forgiven! This earth, he cries, is not my place, I seek my place in Heaven, A country far from mortal sight; Yet, O by faith, I see The land of rest, the saints’ delight, The Heaven prepared for me! 2 A stranger in the world below, I calmly sojourn here; Nor can its happiness or woe Provoke my hope or fear. 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 me, of saints the least. 4 Then let me joyfully remove That fuller life to share; I shall not lose my friends above, But more enjoy them there. There we in Jesus’ praise shall join, His boundless love proclaim, And sing the everlasting song Of Moses and the Lamb. Languages: English

Could we but climb where Moses stood And view the landscape o’er, Not Jordan’s stream, nor death’s cold flood, Could fright us from the shore. Languages: English
