Hymnal: The Hartford Selection of Hymns from the Most Approved Authors #CLXXII (1799) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: 'Tis Jesus calls my soul away Lyrics: 1 'Tis Jesus calls my soul away,
I hear his voice and I obey;
For sure his wondrous power to save,
Strangely perfumes the wasting grave.
2 My weakness, weariness and pain,
My glorious leader can sustain,
To heal the wounds of sin and death
He bids me look to him by faith.
3 Faith like an anchor, through the vail,
Secures a hold that cannot fail;
There, through a Saviour's cleansing blood,
Beholds a reconciled God.
4 This tottering frame I feel give way,
My sight decays, I lose the day;
But sure I fell a power divine,
And heav'nly glories round me shine.
5 In love triumphing now i sing,
Death and the grace have lost their ting,
Adieu, corruption, sin and pain,
With Jesus now I live and reign.
6 O the bright glories of the place,
What radiant smiles from Jesu's face1
Too bright for mortal heart to bear
'Tis heaven itself I see and hear.
7 Strangely inspir'd, I find my tongue
Can speak my feelings in my song,
And all the heav'nly armies join,
To sing Messiah all divine. Topics: Christian Passing to glory; Christian Passing to glory Languages: English
