Yet still my spir­it longs to reach
To Thee, O Lord, I lift mine eyes,
City of God, thou art.
To our bless­èd Sav­ior
His seed for ev­er shall pos­sess
Alas, no gift of mine, I cried,
Hearts and minds to Thee arise,
So from the grave did Christ arise,
Our spir­it up­ward springs,

ab­ove the skies

My home ab­ove the skies.
As serv­ants watch their mas­ter’s hand,
Nor gold­en-walled afar,
Rosy buds are peep­ing
The mean­est sub­ject of His grace
Then spoke an an­gel by my side,
Touching Thee when of­fer­ing there
Nor more let sin or Sa­tan reign
True joy in heav­en­ly things.
