Author: Mary B. Howitt Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8485 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O spirit, freed from earth,
Rejoice, thy work is done!
The weary world’s beneath thy feet,
Thou brighter than the sun!
2 Arise, put on the robes
That the redeemèd win;
Now sorrow hath no part in thee,
Thou sanctified within!
3 Awake, and breathe the air
Of the celestial clime!
Awake to love which knows no change,
Thou who hast done with time!
4 Awake, lift up thine eyes!
See, all Heaven’s host appears!
And be thou glad exceedingly—
Thou, who hast done with tears.
5 Ascend! thou art not now
With those of mortal birth;
The living God hath touched thy lips,
Thou who hast done with earth! Languages: English Tune Title: THE HEAVENLY HOME
O Spirit, Freed From Earth
