Songs of Zion ‎#20

20. Come on my partners in distress

1 Come on, my partners in distress,
My comrades through the wilderness,
Who still your bodies feel,
A while forget your griefs, and fears,
And look beyond this vale of tears
To that celestial hill.

2. Beyond the bounds of time, and space,
Look forward to that happy place,
The saints’ secure abode,
On faith’s strong eagle pinions rise,
And force your passage to the skies,
And scale the mount of God.

3. Who suffer with our Master here,
We shall before his face appear,
And by his side sit down:
To patient faith the prize is sure,
And all that to the end endure
The cross, shall wear the crown.
