Come Away to the Skies

Come away to the skies. 
My beloved, arise,
And rejoice in the day thou wast born;
On this festival day, 
Come exulting away,
And with singing to Zion return.

We have laid up our love 
And our treasure above,
Though our bodies continue below,
The redeemed of the Lord 
Will remember his word,
And with singing to paradise go.

Now with singing and praise, 
Let us spend all the days,
By our heavenly Father bestowed,
While his grace we receive 
From his bounty, and live
To the honor and glory of God.

For the glory we were 
First created to share,
Both the nature and kingdom divine!
Now created again 
That our souls may remain,
Throughout time and eternity thine.

Hallelujah we sing, 
To our Father and King,
And his rapturous praises repeat:
To the Lamb that was slain, 
Hallelujah again,
Sing, all heaven and fall at his feet.
