Hymn 119: Come, let us go to heaven

HYMN CXIX.

Come, let us go to heaven;--the way, Like darkness, opens into day, When from the turning-point of night, Breaks the first beam of morning light.

Come let us go to heaven;--our guide Is Christ who lived, is Christ who died, And rose again; His staff and rod, Through life and death, will lead to God.

Come, let us go to heaven;--forsake Sin, earth, and hell, and gladly take His easy yoke, His pleasant load, And brave the dangers of the road.

Come, let us go to heaven;--and press On through the howling wilderness; Yet fear not, little flock, though foes Without, within, your course oppose.

Come, let us go to heaven,--no power, Not Satan roaring to devour, Nor all his hosts, can harm, for ye, Through Christ, shall more than conquerors be.

Come, let us go to heaven;--and meet Once and for ever, round His feet; Yea, in Christ's kingdom, as His own, Sit down with Him upon His throne.

Can these things be?--they are, are sure To all who to the end endure; While unbelief cries, "can they be?" Come, let us go to heaven and see.
