Then if to Je sus our hearts have been given, Joy fully, joy fully rest we in heaven.

2. Teachers and scholars have passed on before;
Waiting, they watch us approaching the shore,
Singing to cheer us while passing along,
"Joyfully, joyfully haste to your home."
Sounds of sweet music there ravish the ear;
Harps of the blessed, your strains we shall hear,
Filling with harmony heaven's high dome;
Joyfully, joyfully, Jesus, we come.

3. Death with his arrow may soon lay us low;
Safe in our Saviour, we fear not the blow:
Jesus hath broken the bars of the tomb;
Joyfully, joyfully will we go home.
Bright will the morn of eternity dawn,
Death shall be conquered, his sceptre be gone;
Over the plains of sweet Canaan we 'll roan,
Joyfully, joyfully, safely at home.

Beautiful angels, clothed in white; Beautiful strains that never tire; Beautiful harps thro' all the choir. There shall I join the chorus sweet, Worshipping at the Saviour's feet.

Roll off my marble brow,
Break forth in songs of joyfulness;
Let heaven begin below.

3. Then to my raptured ear

Let one sweet song be given; Let music charm me last on earth, And greet me first in heaven. 4. When round my senseless clay Assemble those I love,

Then sing of heav'n, delightful heav'n, My glorious home above.

The evening shades appear; Oh may we all remember well

The night of death draws near. 2. Lord, keep us safe this night, Secure from all our fears;

all is love, There'll be no sorrow there. May angels guard us while we sleep, Till morning light appears.

3. And when we early rise,

And view th' unwearied sun,
May we set out to win the prize,
And after glory run.

4. And when our days are past,
And we from time remove,
Oh may we in thy bosom rest,
The bosom of thy love.
