about

In Revelation, we read, “And He that sat upon the throne said, ‘Behold, I make all things new.’” English pastor Isaac Watts published the hymn on which this song is based in 1734. Like several other songs in “Myth & Truth,” it reflects both profound yearning for the restoration we anticipate Heaven includes, as well as a sort of average soul’s awe at the magnitude of Paradise. It’s stunning, really, to think of it.

lyrics

Absent from flesh oh blissful thought
What joy this moment brings
Free from the blame my sin has brought
From pain and death and its sting

Absent from flesh oh glorious day
In one triumphant stroke
My reckoning paid, my charges dropped
And the bonds ‘round my hands are broke

I go where God and glory shine
To one eternal day
This failing body I now resign
For the angels point my way
The angels point my way

Absent from flesh then rise up my soul
Where feet nor wings could climb
Beyond the sky where planets roll
And beyond all keep of time

I go where God and glory shine
To one eternal day
This failing body I now resign
For the angels point my way
The angels point my way
