M. MUHLENBERG. Would not Live Alway. 1 I would not live alway: I ask not to stay 2 Who, who would live alway, away from his God, Away from yon heaven, that blissful abode ! Where the rivers of pleasure flow o'er the bright plains, And the noontide of glory eternally reigns; 3 Where the saints of all ages in harmony meet, Their Saviour and brethren transported to greet; While the anthems of rapture unceasingly roll, And the smile of the Lord is the life of the soul! |
