Religion

Psalm: When shall I come to appear before, &c

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)

Religion

Confined in a dungeon of clay.
Exiled from the Saviour I love,
I long to be summon'd away,
I groan for a speedy remove:
O when shall I come to appear
With joy in the presence Divine,
To find Him essentially near,
To know Him eternally mine!
