HOW soon! my God, my joys shall rise And run eternal rounds, Beyond the limits of the skies, And all created bounds. |
|||
2 | There, where my Saviour, Jesus, reigns, In Heaven’s unmeasured space, I’ll spend a long eternity In pleasure and in praise. |
||
3 | Millions of years my wondering eyes, Shall o’er Thy beauties rove; And endless ages I’ll adore, The glories of Thy love. |
||
4 | Sweet Jesus, every smile of Thine Shall fresh endearments bring; And thousand tastes of new delight From all Thy graces spring. |
||
5 | Haste, my Beloved, and take my soul Up to Thy blest abode: Come, for my spirit longs to see My Saviour and my God. |

Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 |
