Hymn 20

Rejoice Evermore With Angels Above

Charles Wesley

Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7

1WEARY souls that wander wide
From the central point of bliss,
Turn to Jesus crucified,
Fly to those dear wounds of his;
Sink into the purple flood;
Rise into the life of God!

2Find in Christ the way of peace,
Peace of unspeakable, unknown,
By his pain he gives you ease,
Life by his expiring groan;
Rise exalted by his fall,
Find in Christ your all in all.

3Oh believe the record true,
God to you his Son hath given!
Ye may now be happy too;
Find on earth the life of heaven;
Live the life of heaven above,
All the life of glorious love.

4This the universal bliss,
Bliss for every soul designed:
God's original promise this,
God's great gift to all mankind:
Blest in Christ this moment be!
Blest to all eternity!
