1 In Heav’n the heart o’erflows with love,
And every eye beholds its God;
The passions now no longer rove,
The soul is washed in Jesus’ blood.
2 Sin is for ever banished thence,
Ecstatic raptures fill the mind;
The low delights of flesh and sense
Are changed for pleasures all refined.
3 Oceans of bliss incessant roll,
Nor Satan tempts, nor tyrants frown;
No transient clouds o’erspread the soul
And guilt and grief are never known.
4 Oh could we drop this cumbrous clay,
Soon would we climb the upper road;
On wings of love fly swift away,
Till we shall reach the throne of God.
