From this world's joys and senseless mirth

Hymnal: The Book of Worship #363 (1867) Lyrics: 1 From this world's joys and senseless mirth, Oh come, my soul! in haste retire; Assume the grandeur of thy birth, And to thy native heaven aspire. 2 'Tis heaven alone can make thee blest, Can every wish and want supply; Thy joy, thy crown, thy endless rest, Are all above the lofty sky. 3 Eternal mansions! bright array! Oh, blest exchange! transporting thought! Free from th'approaches of decay Or the least shadow of a spot. 4 There shall mortality no more Its wide-extended empire boast; Forgotten all its dreadful power, In life's unbounded ocean lost. 5 There dwells the sovereign Lord of all, The God that all the worlds adore; With whom is bliss that cannot pall, And joys that last for evermore.
