C
calls me from a

And
C
bids me at my

Father's throne
Make

all my wants and

wishes

known.
In

to the place

Till,
C
from Mount Pisgah's
F
lofty height,
I
C
view my home and
G7
take my
C
flight:
This

robe of flesh
F
I'll
C
drop, and rise
To
C
seize the ev
F

G
prize;
And
C
shout, while passing
F
through the air,
"Fare
C
well, farewell, sweet
G7
hour of
C
prayer!"
