Lyrics: Seth Houston
Tune: Seth Houston, 1992
Meter: L.M. (8,8,8,8)

Lord, lift up these longing eyes
To lofty views of paradise,
And let my body weak and frail
Take to the skies and soar and sail.

How can we doubt your boundless love
When viewing gardens high above?
So hide not thy resplendent blue;
Open our eyes to see the view.

For some are blind and cannot see,
Sweet visions of eternity,
We pray restore our wanting sight,
That we may live in Heaven bright.
