Come away to the skies,

My be­lov­èd, arise

And re­joice in the day thou wast born;

On this fes­tiv­al day, come ex­ult­ing away,

And with sing­ing to Zi­on re­turn.

We have laid up our love

And our trea­sure above,

Though our bo­dies con­tinue be­low.

The re­deemed of the Lord will re­mem­ber His Word,

And with sing­ing to pa­ra­dise go.

Now with sing­ing and praise

Let us spend all the days

By our heav­en­ly Fa­ther be­stowed,

While His grace we re­ceive

From His boun­ty, and live

To the hon­or and glo­ry of God!

For the glo­ry we were

First cre­at­ed to share,

Both the na­ture and king­dom di­vine,

Now cre­at­ed again that our lives may re­main

Throughout time and eter­ni­ty Thine.

We with thanks do ap­prove the de­sign

Of that love that hath joined us to Je­sus’ name;

Now unit­ed in heart, let us nev­er more part,

Till we meet at the feast of the Lamb.

There, Oh! there at His feet,

We shall all like­wise meet,

And be part­ed in bo­dy no more;

We shall sing to our lyres, with the heav­en­ly choirs,

And our Sav­ior in glo­ry ad­ore.

Hallelujah! we sing

To our Fa­ther and king,

And His rap­tur­ous prais­es re­peat:

To the Lamb that was slain, Hal­le­lu­jah again!

Sing all Heav­en and fall at His feet!
