Death & Dying

Let the sense of joys above

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Preparation for Death, in Several Hymns (1772) · Osborn ed., vol. 7 (1870)

Death & Dying

Let the sense of joys above
Quite o'erpower my sense of pain,
Let unutterable love
Loose me from my body's chain,
Sweetly set the prisoner free,
Swallow up my soul in Thee.
