O glorious hope of heavenly love!

O glorious hope of heavenly love!It lifts me up to things above;It bears on eagles' wings;It gives my ravished soul a taste,And makes me for some moments feastWith Jesus' priests and kings.

Rejoicing now in earnest hope,I stand, and from the mountain-topSee all the land below;Rivers of milk and honey rise,And all the fruits of paradiseIn endless plenty grow.

A land of corn, and wine, and oil,Favored with God's peculiar smile,With every blessing blest;There dwells the Lord our Righteousness,And keeps his own in perfect peace,And everlasting rest.

O that I might at once go up!No more on this side Jordan stop,But now the land possess!This moment end my legal years,Sorrows, and sins, and doubts, and fears,A howling wilderness.

Now, O my Joshua, bring me in!Cast out thy foes; the inbred sin,The carnal mind, remove;The purchase of thy death divide;And, O! with all the sanctified,Give me a lot of love.
