70. And may I still get there?

1 And may I still get there?
Still reach the heav'nly shore?
The land forever bright and fair,
Where sorrow reigns no more.

Chorus:
There'll be no parting there,
There'll be no parting there;
In heav'n alone no sorrow's known,
There'll be no parting there.

2 Shall I, unworthy I,
To fear and doubting giv'n,
Mount up at last, and happy fly
On angel's wings to heav'n. [Chorus]

3 Hail, love divine and pure!
Hail, mercy from the skies!
My hopes are bright and now secure,
Upborne by faith I rise. [Chorus]
