Auburn 11
Lyrics: Joseph Stone
Tune: Joseph Stone, arr. Erikson / Oss 1994
Meter: L.M. (8.8.8.8.)
I long to be released from clay,
I long for everlasting day.
I long to meet with Christ above
In mansions of eternal love.
I long that happy world to see,
And with the saints forever be;
I long to rest on Canaan's shore,
And dwell in bliss forever more.
I long to taste that crystal flood,
Which warbles from the throne of God;
I long to rise above the sun,
When this my toilsome day is done.
Ye lazy moments, speed your flight,
And waft me to that world of light,
Where I my Saviour's face shall see,
And praise him to eternity.
