455 Soar Away

Tune: A. M. Cagle, 1935

Words: Collection of Hymns and Spiritual Songs, 1814

Meter: Meter Hallelujah (6,6,6,6,8,8)

I want a sober mind,
An all sustaining eye,
To see my God above,
And to the heavens fly.

Chorus:

I’d soar away above the sky,
I’d fly to see my God above.

I want a Godly fear,
A quick discerning eye,
That looks to Thee my God,
And see the tempter fly.

(Chorus)
