My best-beloved keeps His throne
On hills of light, in worlds unknown
But He descends and shows His face
In the bright gardens of His grace

He has engrossed my warmest love
No earthly charms my soul can move
I have a mansion in His heart
Nor death nor hell shall make us part

Oh, may my spirit daily rise
On wings of faith above the skies
Till death shall make my last remove
To dwell for ever with my love
