HYMN XIV.

[World of vanity, farewell!]

World of vanity, farewell!
Thee without regret I leave;
While, redeem'd from death and hell,
Mercy doth my soul forgive,
Lends me wings from earth to fly,
Tells me I shall never die.
Though the worms this flesh devour,
Clothed with immortality,
Ransom'd from corruption's power,
God I in this flesh shall see,
See my dear Redeemer's face,
See, and catch the glorious blaze.
Son of the Most High, appear,
Now my evils to remove;
Stamp me with Thy character,
God of holiness and love:
In Thine own similitude
Speak my sinless soul renew'd.
Loving Thee with all my heart,
Ready for the righteous crown,
Meet to see Thee as Thou art,
Glad I lay my body down;
Partner of Thy nature rise,
Reign eternal in the skies.
