Happy the souls to Jesus joined,
And saved by grace alone;
Walking in all thy ways, we find
Our heaven on earth begun.

The church triumphant in thy love,
Their mighty joys we know;
They sing the Lamb in hymns above,
And we in hymns below.

Thee in thy glorious realm they praise,
And bow before thy throne,
We in the kingdom of thy grace-
The kingdoms are but one.

The holy to the holiest leads;
From hence our spirits rise,
And whoso in thy statutes treads
Shall meet thee in the skies.


Charles Wesley (1707-88)
