Again for joy she claps her wings | |
---|---|
All her merchants stand with wonder | |
And her captain Judah’s Lion, hallelujah! | |
And her celestial sonnet sings | |
And her watchmen publish peace. | |
And loud her hallelujah sings | |
And loud her lovely sonnet sings | |
And nature weeps, her comforts fled | |
And owns her sov’reign — Death! | |
And watched her dying face | |
And withered all her joys. | |
Close seated by her Savior’s side | |
Come, tell of your ship, and what is her name? | |
Her anchor drops within the veil. | |
Her glory is departed. | |
In vain to heav’n she lifts her eyes | |
More eager all her pow’rs expand | |
My soul forsakes her vain delight | |
My soul should stretch her wings in haste | |
My tongue repeats her vows | |
Nature must count her gold but dross | |
Now noon sits throned; her golden urn | |
Or earth received her frame | |
Round her habitation hov’ring | |
Say, is her keel sound, her garner well stored? | |
Scatters mild her silver light | |
Still drags her downward from the skies | |
That freedom calls her own. | |
That I once more may find her? | |
The honors of her King. | |
The soul for joy then claps her wings | |
To seek her last abode. | |
While Jesus bade her spirit come | |
With cheerful hope her eyes explore | |
Without a trace behind her? |
