[Verse]
F#
O LORD, I live here as a fish in a vessel of water, only enough to keep me alive,
G#7
but in heaven I shall swim in the ocean.
Bm F#
Here I have a little air in me to keep me breathing, but there I shall have sweet and fresh gales;
F#
Here I have a beam of sun to lighten my darkness, a warm ray to keep me from freezing;
G#7 Bm
yonder I shall live in light and warmth for ever. My natural desires are corrupt and misguided,
F#
and it is thy mercy to destroy them; My spiritual longings are of thy planting,
G#7
and thou wilt water and increase them; Quicken my hunger and thirst after the realm above.
Bm
Here I can have the world, there I shall have thee in Christ;
F#
Here is a life of longing and prayer, there is assurance without suspicion, asking without refusal;
G#7 Bm
Here are gross comforts, more burden than benefit, there is joy without sorrow, comfort without suffering,
F#
love without inconstancy, rest without weariness. Give me to know that heaven is all love,
G#7
where the eye affects the heart, and the continual viewing of thy beauty
Bm
keeps the soul in continual transports of delight.
F#
Give me to know that heaven is all peace, where error, pride, rebellion, passion raise no head.
G#7 Bm
Give me to know that heaven is all joy, the end of believing, fasting, praying, mourning, humbling, watching,
Bm
and lead me to it soon.
