WHEN I CAN READ MY TITLE CLEAR

"The sovereign Lord will wipe away all the tears." Isaiah 25:5

Words: Isaac Watts, Hymns and Spiritual Songs, 1707.
Music: "Pisgah," Scottish tune, arranged by J.C. Lowry in Ananias Davisson's The Kentucky Harmony, second edition, 1817.

When I can read my title clear to mansions in the skies,
I'll bid farewell to every fear, and wipe my weeping eyes.
And wipe my weeping eyes, and wipe my weeping eyes
I'll bid farewell to every fear, and wipe my weeping eyes.

Should earth against my soul engage, and fiery darts be hurled,
Then I can smile at Satan's rage, and face a frowning world.
And face a frowning world, and face a frowning world,
Then I can smile at Satan's rage, and face a frowning world.

Let cares, like a wild deluge come, and storms of sorrow fall!
May I but safely reach my home, my God, my heaven, my All.
My God, my heaven, my All, my God, my heaven, my All,
May I but safely reach my home, my God, my heaven, my All.

There shall I bathe my weary soul in seas of heavenly rest,
And not a wave of trouble roll, across my peaceful breast.
Across my peaceful breast, across my peaceful breast,
And not a wave of trouble roll, across my peaceful breast.
