Eternal spring of boundless grace, <br />It lifts the soul above, <br />Where God the Son unveils his face, <br />And shows that Heaven is love. <br /> <br /> <br />Love that revolves through endless years-- <br />Love that can never pall; <br />Love which excludes the gloom of fears, <br />Love to whom God is all! <br /> <br /> <br />Love which can ransom every slave, <br />And set the pris'ner free; <br />Gild the dark horrors of the grave, <br />And still the raging sea. <br /> <br /> <br />Let but the partial smile of Heaven <br />Upon the bosom play, <br />The mystic sound of sins forgiven, <br />Can waft the soul away. <br /> <br /> <br />The pilgrim's spirits show this love, <br />They often soar on high; <br />Languish from this dim earth to move, <br />And leave the flesh to die. <br /> <br /> <br />Sing, oh my soul, rise up and run, <br />And leave this clay behind; <br />[illegible] ing thy swift flight beyond the sun, <br />Nor dwell in tents confined.<br /><br />George Moses Horton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/heavenly-love-6/
