	NOW let our souls on wings sublime    Rise from the vanities of time, Draw back the parting veil, and see The glories of eternity.
2	Twice born by a celestial birth, Why should we grovel here on earth? Why grasp at this world’s passing toys, When we have Heaven’s eternal joys?
3	Shall we be side-tracked on the road, When we are travelling back to God? From exile—into life we come! And dying is but going home.
4	Welcome, sweet hour of full discharge, That sets our longing soul at large, Unbinds our chains, breaks up our cell, And gives us with our God to dwell.
5	To dwell with God, to feel His love, Is the full Heaven enjoyed above; And this sweet expectation now Is our sweet earnest here below.
	Thomas Gibbons, 1720-85
