Saint's Delight
Tune: F. Price, 1835
Words: Isaac Watts, 1707 Meter: Common Meter (8,6,8,6)

When I can read my title clear To mansions in the skies,
I'll bid farewell to ev'ry fear, And wipe my weeping eyes.

Chorus:
I feel like I'm on my journey home.

Should earth against my soul engage, And fiery darts be hurled,
Then I can smile at Satan's rage, And face a frowning world.

(Chorus)

Let cares like a wild deluge come, Let storms of sorrow fall;
So I but safely reach my home,
My God, my heav'n my all.

(Chorus)

There I shall bathe my weary soul In seas of heav'nly rest,
And not a wave of trouble roll Across my peaceful breast.
