Some glad morning when this life is over
start
In its wa­ters so free.
The Sav­ior calls—away—
start
O my soul! why wish to stay!
And nev­er part again.
Let us take the wings of the morn­ing,
The pro­phet they de­ride.
O Je­sus, at Thy cross I fall!
And thy soul from care would hide,
Leave dull mor­tal­ity be­hind,
Forgot by you and me;
Darkness is com­ing on.
Darkness is com­ing on.
Like tem­pests down ov­er the soul.
start
When he as­sumes the dove.
No re­fuge but His love.
Angels and men be­fore it fall,

Fly

To a home on God's celestial shore
No re­fuge on earth so near;
Ere the dark­ness shall cov­er the sky;
There’s dan­ger in de­lay.
Let the glo­ri­ous day come on,
Straight to yon­der world of joy?
Dear Sav­ior, quick­ly come!
Let us take the wings of the morn­ing,
Behold de­struct­ion near!
And on Thy hal­lowed name I call:
And be­neath His wings ab­ide.
And fly be­yond the grave.
And truth be clear and nigh,
Sweeping the fields of sin;
Sweeping the fields of sin;
To the Rock that is high­er than I
Through the great spac­es of the sky;
Ye sons of Ad­am, fly;
Came back to the place of rest;
Jesus! the name to sin­ners dear,
