Charley Noble Lyr/Chords Add: Green Pastures (18) Lyr Add: SAINTS DELIGHT (Isaac Watts) 22 Apr 01


Whoops, I have mixed up two songs in my general excitment. "Saints delight" has no relation to "Green Pastures" exept for being a wonferful old hymn. I better add "Saints Delight here and slink away:

SAINTS DELIGHT
(By Isaac Watts in 1709)

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

Chorus:

I feel like, I feel like,
I'm on my journey home;
I feel like, 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. (CHO)

Let cares like a wild deluge come,
Let storms of sorrow fall;
So I but safely reach my home,
My God, my heaven, my all. (CHO)

There I shall bathe my weary soul,
In seas of heavenly rest,
And not a wave of trouble roll,
Across my peaceful breast. (CHO)

It's a good thing I don't go deer hunting no more!
