Let us waste no time de­bat­ing,
With this pe­ti­tion still,
The vi­sion van­ish­es, our eyes
When ga­thered on the Sab­bath morn,
If you love your mo­ther, meet her in the skies.
With joy like His shall ev­ery saint
Arise and say, I’ll go.
Arise and say, I’ll go.
We shall be­hold them again.
A full de­liv­er­ance brings;
The arm to give to Ju­dah back
And she stood and wept for sor­row,
Thy glo­ry fills not all the land.
Many ear­ly friends had left me,
Many ear­ly friends had left me,
Many ear­ly friends had left me,
Give me a place at Thy saints’ feet,
Is op­ened wide, and the great Pri­son­er gone;

va­cant

Let there be no va­cant chair!
With Thine own full­ness fill!
Yet hath one such ex­alt­ed hour
We’ll think how bright the world she treads,
One dear form is ab­sent, mo­ther, kind and true;
Then rise with his as­cend­ing Lord
And rai­ment white as snow!
And rai­ment white as snow!
When to our Sav­ior we bend;
The song of tri­umph rings:
“When He, the Lord in whom we trust,
But her tears to glad fru­ition
Needs Thee as do Thy child­ren, too;
Were re­mind­ers of the pric­es
Were re­mind­ers of the pric­es
Were re­mind­ers of the pric­es
I’ll strive to sing as loud as they,
The nap­kin and the grave clothes lie alone.
