Borne by the air along.
Flying to gold­en streets be­yond the sky.
With Thy saints ad­or­ing;
Where nor eye nor tho’t can see;
O’er all Thy grac­es rove,
In the bright ce­les­ti­al blaze;

Sing God is good to me!
Be a pil­ot strong and brave;
Thy riv­ers and lakes in their gran­deur,
Thy clouds, which are fount­ains
My God and my Sav­ior to see.
The Mas­ter there to be, and thence
May chant the praise Thine own.
Scaling the ve­ry sky,
Thy Mas­ter there to be, and thence,
Ye cheer­ful warb­lers of the spring,
