Hymnal: Hymns and Spiritual Songs for the use of Christians #219 (1803) Hymnal Title: Hymns and Spiritual Songs for the use of Christians First Line: And is this heav'n? and am I there! Lyrics: 1 And is this heav'n? and am I there!
How short the road!how swift the flight
I am all life, all eye, all ear;
Jesus is here--my soul's delight.
2 Is this the heav'nly friend who hung,
In blood and anguish on the tree,
Whom Paul proclaim'd, whom David sung,
Who dy'd for them, who dy'd for me?
3 How fair thou offspring of my God!
Thou first born image of his face!
Thy death procur'd this blest abode,
Thy vital beams adorn the place.
4 Lo, he presents me at the throne
All praises--there the Godhead reigns
Sublime and peaceful thro' the Son:
Awake, my voice, in heav'nly strains. Languages: English
