Longing for Heaven (Panting for Heaven) 384

Tune: S. M. Brown, 1869

Lyrics: Maria DeFleury, 1791
Meter: 8s (8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8)
O when will the period appear
When I shall unite in your song?
I’m weary of lingering here,
And I to your Savior belong.
I’m fettered and chained up in clay,
I struggle and pant to be free,
I long to be soaring away,
My God and my Savior to see.
