Hymnal: Joy to the World #134 (1879) Hymnal Title: Joy to the World First Line: Let me go where saints are going Refrain First Line: Let me go, 'tis Jesus calls me Lyrics: 1 Let me go where saints are going,
To the mansions of the blest;
Let me go where my Redeemer
Has prepared his people's rest
I would gain those realms of brightness
Where they dwell for evermore;
I would join the friends that wait me
Over on the other shore.
Chorus:
Let me go, 'tis Jesus calls me;
Let me gain the realms of day;
Bear me over angel pinions,
Longs my soul to be away.
2 Let me go where none are weary,
Where is raised no wail of woe;
Let me go and bathe my spirit
In the raptures angels know;
Let me go, for bliss eternal
Lures my soul away, away,
And the victor's song triumphant
Thrills my heart--I can not stay. [Chorus]
3 Let me go where tears and sighing
Are for evermore unknown,
Where the joyous songs of glory
Call me to a happier home.
Let me go--I'd cease this dying,
I would gain life's fairer plains;
Let me join the myriad harpers,
Let me chant their rapturous strains. [Chorus] Languages: English
Let Me Go
