Tune: Eld. Robert Lee Vaughn, 2011
Lyrics: George Askins, 1819
Meter: 6,6,7,6,6,7 Double (6,6,7,6,6,7,6,6,7,6,6,7)
Dear brethren, I have found,
A land which doth abound,
With fruits as sweet as manna,
The more I eat I find,
The more I am inclined,
To sing and shout “hosanna!”
My soul doth long to go,
Where it may fully know,
The glory of the Savior;
And as I pass along,
I’ll sing the Christian’s song,
I hope to live forever.
What must this fountain be,
From which grace flows so free,
It yields both peace and pleasure;
There’s no terrestrial bliss,
Can ever equal this,
A foretaste of my Savior.
My soul doth long to go,
Where it may fully know,
The glory of the Savior;
And as I pass along,
I’ll sing the Christian’s song,
I hope to live forever.
In memory of Wiley Palmer Jones, 1844-1912
