With arms outstretch’d to welcome me;

Their angel voices I shall hear,

Sounding my rapt’rous welcome there.

They’ll lead me to my Savior’s feet,

Whom more than all I long to meet,

And in one thrilling note of joy

I’ll join my husband and my boy!

It could not be a tyrant’s nod,

Which call’d them to that bright abode;

It must have been a Father’s hand,
