'Tis pure delight without alloy,
Jesus, to hear Thy name;
My spirit leaps with inward joy;
I feel the sacred flame.
 
My passions hold a pleasing reign,
While love inspires my breast;
Love, the divinest of the train;
The sovereign of the rest.
 
This is the grace must live and sing
When faith and fear shall cease;
Must sound from every joyful string
Through the sweet groves of bliss.
 
Let life immortal seize my clay;
Let love refine my blood;
Her flames can bear my soul away,
Can bring me near my God.
 
Swift I ascend the heavenly place,
And hasten to my home;
I leap to meet thy kind embrace;
I come, O Lord, I come!
 
Sink down, ye separating hills,
Let guilt and death remove;
'Tis love that drives my chariot wheels,
And death must yield to love.}}''Ascending to Him in Heaven'', by Isaac Watts, 1706.
