This life's a dream, an empty show ; But the bright world, to which I go, Hath joys substantial and sincere ; When shall I wake and find me there ? 5 O glorious hour ! O blest abode ! I shall be near and like my God ! And flesh and sin no more control The sacred pleasures of the soul. 6 My flesh shall slumber in the ground, Till the last trumpet's joyful sound ; Then burst the chains with sweet surprise, And in my Saviour's image rise. - Page 296
