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