Mecklenburg (Bright Scenes of Glory)

1. Bright scenes of glory strike my sense,
    And all my passions capture;
Eternal beauties round me shine,
    Infusing warmest rapture.
I dive in oceans, deep and full,
    That swell in waves of glory;
I feel my Savior in my soul,
    And groan to tell my story,
I feel my Savior in my soul,
    And groan to tell my story.

2. I feast on honey, milk, and wine,
    I drink perpetual sweetness:
Mount Zion’s beauties round me shine,
    While Christ unfolds his glory!
No mortal tongue can show my joys,
    Nor can an angel tell them,
Ten thousand times surpassing all
    Terrestrial worlds and emblems;
Ten thousand times surpassing all
    Terrestrial worlds and emblems;

3. My captivated spirit flies
    Through shining worlds of beauty;
Dissolved in blushes, loud I cry,
    In praises loud and mighty.
And here I’ll sing and swell the strain,
    Of harmony delighted,
And with the millions learn the notes
    Of saints in Christ united;
And with the millions learn the notes
    Of saints in Christ united.

True Love

1. Come away to the skies,
    My beloved, arise,
And rejoice in the day thou wast born;
    On this festival day,
    Come exulting away,
And with singing to Zion return.
    On this festival day,
    Come exulting away,
And with singing to Zion return.

2. We have laid up our love,
    And our treasure above,
Tho’ our bodies continue below;
    The redeem’d of the Lord,
    We remember his word,
And with singing to Paradise go.
    The redeem’d of the Lord,
    We remember his word,
And with singing to Paradise go.
