Ninety-Fifth Psalm 36b
Tune: Patterson's Church Music, 1813
Lyrics: Isaac Watts, 1707 (1st & 2nd Verse); Broaddus and Broaddus' Collection of Sacred Ballads, 1790 (3rd Verse)
Meter: Common Meter (8,6,8,6)
When I can read my title clear,
To mansions in the skies.
I’ll bid farewell to ev’ry fear,
And wipe my weeping eyes.
There I shall bathe my weary soul,
In seas of heav’nly rest,
And not a wave of trouble roll
Across my peaceful breast.
When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise,
Than when we first begun.
