384 Panting for Heaven

Words: Maria De Fleury, 1786

Music: S. M. Brown, 1870. Alto Minnie Floyd, 1902

Meter: 8s D.

Oh, when will the period appear
When I shall unite in your song?
I’m weary of lingering here,
And I to your Savior belong.
I’m fettered and chained up in clay;
I struggle and pant to be free:
I long to be soaring away,
My God and my Savior to see.
