Excerpt from New Harmonia Sacra: A Compilation of Genuine Church Music

Now let our souls on wings sublime, Rise from the van-i-ties of time, Draw back the partoing vail and see, The glories of e ter-ui ty. 2 Born bv a new cc les tial birth, Why should we grovel here on earth? Why grasp at tran-si to ry toys, So near to hear'n's e-ter-nal joys. 3 Shall aught beguile us on the road, When we are walking back to God? For strangers in-to life we come, And dying is but going home.
