While on the Verge of Life I Stand (EN 5189)

EN 5189 While on the Verge of Life I Stand

Phil.1.23

Versi Version 1

1

While on the verge of life I stand,

And view the scene on either hand,

My spirit struggles with my clay,

And longs to wing its flight away.

2

Where Jesus dwells my soul would be,

And faints my much loved Lord to see:

Earth, twine no more about my heart,

For ’tis far better to depart.

3

Come, ye angelic envoys, come,

And lead the willing pilgrim home!

Ye know the way to Jesus’ throne—

Source of my joys and of your own.

4

That blissful interview, how sweet,

To fall transported at His feet:

Raised in His arms to view His face,

Thro’ the full beamings of His grace.
