Hallelujah. 2 O may I find some humble seat, Beneath my dear Redeemer's feet; A servant as before I've been, And sing salvation to my King. Hallelujah. 3 I'm glad that I am born to die, From grief and woe my soul shall fly; Bright angels shall convey me home, Away to new Jerusalem. Hallelujah. 4 I'll praise him while he lends me breath, I hope to praise him after death, I hope to praise him when I die, And shout salvation as I fly. Hallelujah. 5 Farewell vain world, I'm going home, My Saviour smiles and bids me come; Sweet angels beckon me away, To sing God's praise in endless day. Hallelujah. 6 I soon shall pass the veil of death, And in his arms I'll lose my breath; And then my happy soul shall tell My Jesus has done all things well. Hallelujah. 7 I soon shall hear the awful sound, Awake ye nations under ground; Arise and drop your dying shrouds, And meet king Jesus in the clouds. Hallelujah. 8 When to that blessed world I rise, And join the anthems in the skies; This note above the rest shall swell, My Jesus has done all things well. Hallelujah. 9 Then shall I see my blessed God, And praise him in his bright abode; My theme through all eternity Shall glory, glory, glory be. Hallelujah.

Oh! may I worthy prove to see The saints in full prosperity: Then my troubles will be over. To see the bride, the glittering bride, Close seated by her Savior's side: Then my troubles will be over.
