Funeral Hymns, Second Series, 37

Shout, ye heirs of sure salvation,
Love's accomplish'd sacrifice!
See our partner in temptation
On the wings of angels flies!

Join the convoy,
Swell the triumph of the skies.
He who set His love upon her,
Doth for His beloved send.
Crowns her with immortal honour,
Glorious joys that never end:

Saints and angels
Praise our everlasting Friend.
Christ, the Friend of sinners, bought her,
Her, and all our ruin'd race:
Now He up to heaven hath caught her,
Now He in her sight displays
All His goodness,
All the beauties of His face.
Token of our own translation
Her translation we receive,
Earnest of our full salvation,
While He doth His Spirit give:

Hallelujah!
We like her with God shall live.
God, our soul's eternal Lover,
Calls us to His courts above;
Round us now our angels hover.
Us our guards shall soon remove,
There to banquet
On His everlasting love.
Haste, ye ministerial spirits,
Thither bear us on your wings,
Where our friend her crown inherits,
Where our old companion sings,
Bows to Jesus,
King of all the heavenly kings.
Jesus, now assume Thy power,
Alpha and Omega be,
Now let every knee adore,
Every eye Thy kingdom see.
With Thine ancients
Reign through all eternity.
