Sojourn Absent from Flesh song lyrics
Sojourn Absent from Flesh song lyrics
Absent from flesh, O blissful thought
What joy that moment brings
Freed from the blame my sin has brought,
From pain and death and its sting.
Absent from flesh, O glorious day!
In one triumphant stroke
My reckoning paid, my charges dropped,
And the bonds 'round my hands are broke.
I go where God and glory shine,
To one eternal day
And this failing body I now resign,
For the Angels point my way
For the Angels point my way
Absent from flesh! Then rise, my soul,
Where feet nor wings could climb,
Beyond the sky, where planets roll,
And beyond all keep of time.
I go where God and glory shine,
To one eternal day
And this failing body I now resign,
For the Angels point my way
For the Angels point my way
Absent from flesh! Then see thy God,
With eyes unveiled and free
We'll face to face His glory laud,
And radiance ever see
I go where God and glory shine,
To one eternal day
And this failing body I now resign,
For the Christ has made a way
For the Christ has made a way
