Desiring to depart, and to be with Christ

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship #310 (1845) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: While on the verge of life I stand Lyrics: 1 While on the verge of life I stand, And view the scene on either hand, My spirit struggles with my clay, And longs to wing its flight away. 2 Where Jesus dwells my soul would be, And faints my much-lov'd Lord to see; Earth, twine no more about my heart! For 'tis far better to depart. 3 Come, ye angelic convoys! come, And lead the willing pilgrim home; Ye know the way to Jesus' throne,-- Source of my joys, and of your own. 4 The blissful interview, how sweet! To fall transported at his feet! Rais'd in his arms, to view his face Through the full beamings of his grace! 5 As with a seraphs voice to sing! To fly as on a cherub's wing! Performing, with unwearied hands, The present Savior's high commands. 6 Yet, with these prospects full in sight, We'll wait thy signal for the flight, For, while thy service we pursue, We find a heaven in all we do.
