Author: F. E. B. Hymnal: Christ in Song #875 (1908) Hymnal Title: Christ in Song First Line: Soul amid earth sorrows dwelling Refrain First Line: I shall be satisfied then Lyrics: 1. Soul amid earth sorrows dwelling,
Sighing for the strife to cease,
Lo! the promise sweet foretelling
Soon shall come the Prince of Peace.
Chorus:
I shall be satisfied then,
I shall be satisfied then;
When the King of kings, with angels attending,
Rends the azure sky, in glory descending,
When the saints awake in his own likeness,
I shall be satisfied then.
2. Saddened by the world's complaining,
Burdened with the ceaseless care,
Tell me! is there rest remaining
For the toilers over there? [Chorus]
3. Patient wait God's time for going,
Murmur not though long thy stay,
Ever trusting, ever knowing
Thou shalt dwell with him some day. [Chorus]
4. Born of God, the soul can never
Willing here with sin abide;
Earth is not the glad forever
Where the soul is satisfied. [Chorus] Topics: The Home Eternal Return of Christ; Special Occasions Funeral Hymns; Special Selections Choir or Quartet Languages: English Tune Title: [Soul amid earth sorrows dwelling]
