HYMN l73. C.M.- The Zion Songster: A Collection of Hymns and Spiritual Songs- 1854
1. BOLD soldiers all, on you I call,
Although you are but few:
When you've done all, stand fast, and keep
The glorious prize in view!
The time draws nigh when you and I
Must cross bold Jordan's flood:
On wings of love we'll soar above,
And scale the mount of God.
2. The city hath foundations twelve,
And golden gates the same—
All paved, and set with diamonds bright.
On each engraved a name:
All round this glorious city, shine
The walls of dazzling gold;
No mortal eye can reach so high,
Those glories to behold.
3. I long to see that heavenly place,
And to return no more;
I long to sing redeeming grace
On Canaan's blissful shore:
I long to see my blessed God,
Who saved my soul from hell,
I long to see my brethren there,
Whom I do love so well.
4. Bright shining armies there to join.
Adoring round the throne,
And everlasting praises sing,
To the great Three in One:
There parents, and the children too,
May join the heavenly throng—
I hope to meet my brethren there,
And then renew my song.
5. My soul is rising, while I sing,
Towards the blissful goal;
I feel the love of Christ my King,
Now running through my soul:
My soul is struggling to be gone
To those bright worlds above,
To shout and sing redeeming grace,
In strains of perfect love.
