Rejoicing in Heaven
" OH spirit, freed from bondage,
Rejoice, thy work is done!
The weary world is 'neath thy feet,
Thou brighter than the sun!
" Arise, put on the garments
Which the redeemed wore!
Now sorrow hath no part in thee,
Thou sanctified from sin!
" Awake and breathe the living air
Of our celestial clime!
Awake to love which knows no change,
Thou, who hast done with time!
" Awake, lift up thy joyful eyes,
See, all heaven's host appears;
And be thou glad exceedingly,
Thou, who hast done with tears!
" Awake! ascend. Thou art not now
With those of mortal birth, —
The living God hath touched thy lips,
Thou who hast done with earth! "
Rejoice, thy work is done!
The weary world is 'neath thy feet,
Thou brighter than the sun!
" Arise, put on the garments
Which the redeemed wore!
Now sorrow hath no part in thee,
Thou sanctified from sin!
" Awake and breathe the living air
Of our celestial clime!
Awake to love which knows no change,
Thou, who hast done with time!
" Awake, lift up thy joyful eyes,
See, all heaven's host appears;
And be thou glad exceedingly,
Thou, who hast done with tears!
" Awake! ascend. Thou art not now
With those of mortal birth, —
The living God hath touched thy lips,
Thou who hast done with earth! "
