Hymn 12
I have been in the wilderness of the world
I have been in the wilderness of the world
Upon the mount and upon the plain
There is nothing that I cherish in this world
But desire Jerusalem on high
There's a day we shall bid farewell
To the world we shall bid farewell
Dear brethren, the day is coming
When we shall go to our home on high
I stood and look'd the way to Jerusalem
My soul's thirsty to get to the place
Whatever can hinder me in narrow way
O Trinity, cast them out for me.
Every day my soul of sin do set me back
Far away from Jesus Christ my Lord
Lord Jesus, redeem me with Thy precious blood
With Thy Holy Spirit put me through.
The world push's me hither thither to suit them
Still, I will not depart from my Lord
I have promis'd to reign with Jesus my Lord
And this promise ever will not fail
The good land of Cannan had been shown to me
Her beauty is uncomparable
Brethren how would ye migrate into he land?
For the soul that fails there will perish
All ye people, come and praise the Lord with me
Who had shown us Apostolic way
I know Jesus, my Saviour and King today
With His Holy Spirit, He fill'd me
Jesus Christ uplift me to the end of life
To be with Thee to the end's so sweet
Hallelujah! Praise the Lord Jesus once more
Hallelujah! Shall be our last song.
