Author: William Cowper Appears in 29 hymnals First Line: My Saviour, whom absent I love Lyrics: 1 My Saviour, whom absent I love, Whom, not having seen, I adore, Whose name is exalted above All glory, dominion, and powers,-- Dissolve thou these bands that detain My soul from her portion in thee; Ah, strike off this adamant chain, And make me eternally free! 2 When that happy era begins, When arrayed in thy glories I shine, Nor grieve any more, by my sins, The bosom on which I recline, Oh, then shall the vail be removed, And round me thy brightness be poured! I shall meet him, whom absent I loved, I shall see, whom unseen I adored! 3 And then, nevermore shall the fears, The trials, temptations, and woes, Which darken this valley of tears, Intrude on my blissful repose: To Jesus, the crown of my hope, My soul is in haste to be gone; Oh, bear me, ye cherubim, up, And waft me away to his throne!
