Deathless principle! arise; br Soar, thou native of the skies; br Pearl of price, by Jesus bought, br To His glorious likeness wrought, br Go, to shine before His throne; br Deck His mediatorial crown; br Go, His triumphs to adorn; br Made for God, to God return. br br Lo! He beckons from on high, br Fearless to His presence fly; br Thine the merit of His blood, br Thine the righteousness of God. br Angels joyful to attend, br Hovering round thy pillow bend; br Wait to catch the signal given, br And escort thee quick to heaven. br br Shudder not to pass the stream; br Venture all thy care on Him;- br Him whose dying love and power br Stilled its tossing, hushed its roar: br Safe is the expanded wave; br Gentle as a summer's eve: br Not one object of His care br Ever suffered shipwreck there. br br See the haven full in view; br Love divine shall bear thee through. br Trust to that propitious gale; br Weigh thy anchor, spread thy sail. br Saints in glory, perfect made, br Wait thy passage through the shade; br Ardent for thy coming o'er, br See! they throng the blissful shore. br br Mount, their transports to improve; br Join the longing choir above; br Swiftly to their wish be given; br Kindle higher joy in heaven.- br Such the prospects that arise br To the dying Christian's eyes; br Such the glorious vista, Faith br Opens through the shades of death.
