Introit - Come Away to the Skies
Charles Wesley (1707-1788)
Come away to the skies my beloved arise
and rejoice in the day thou wast born;
On this festival day, come exulting away,
and with singing to Zion return.
We have laid up our love and our treasures above
tho’ our bodies continue below.
The redeemed of the Lord shall remember his word,
And with singing to paradise go.
Come away.
