First Line: Oh, glorious hope of perfect love,

Oh, glorious hope of perfect love !
It lifts me up to things above ;
It bears on eagle's wings ;
It gives my ravished soul a taste,
And makes me for some moments
With Jesus' priests and kings, [feast

2 Rejoicing now in earnest hope,
I stand, and from the mountain-top
See all the land below :
Rivers of milk and honey rise,
And all the fruits of paradise
In endless plenty grow.

3 A land of corn, and wine, and oil.
Favoured with God's peculiar smile,
With every blessing blest; [ness,
There dwells the Lord our Righteous-
And keeps His own in perfect peace
And everlasting rest.

4 Oh, that at once I might go up !
No more on this side Jordan stop,
But now the land possess :
This moment end my legal years,
Sorrows, and sins, and doubts, and fears,
A howling wilderness.

5 Now, O my Joshua, bring me in !
Cast out Thy foes ; the inward sin,
The stony heart remove ;
The purchase of Thy death divide ;
And oh, with all the sanctified,
Give me Thy perfect love.
