Oh, tell me no more
Of this world's vain store;
The time for such trifles with me is now o'er.
A country I've found
Where true joys abound,
To dwell I'm determined on that happy ground.
The souls which believe
In paradise live,
And me in that number will Jesus receive.
No longer I stay,
He calls me away:
I follow thee, Saviour, and bless the glad day.
And when I'm to die,
Receive me, I'll cry,
For life everlasting for me thou didst buy.
