Know my soul, thy full salvation,
Rise o’er sin, and fear, and care;
Joy to find in every station
Something still to do or bear.
Think what Spirit dwells within thee;
Think what Father’s smiles are thine;
Think what Jesus did to win thee:
Child of heaven, canst thou repine?
God will give thee grace and glory;
Fight thy way, and get thy crown;
Canaan’s land lies just before thee—
There you’ll lay your armour down.
Soon you’ll close your earthly mission,
Soon you’ll pass your pilgrim days;
Hope shall change to glad fruition—
Faith to sight, and prayer to praise.
---Alternative verses---
Haste thee not from grace and glory;
Armed by faith, and winged by prayer;
Heaven's eternal day before thee—
God's own hand shall guide thee there.
Soon you’ll close thine earthly mission,
Soon you’ll pass thy pilgrim days;
Hope shall change to glad fruition—
Faith to sight, and prayer to praise.
