Ah, My Heart
by Joseph Farmer © 2007

Ah, my heart
It is the dawn!
Christ has come
And I am going home!
Never more to taste the bitterness
Of besetting sins;they are gone!
Ah, my heart
Ah, my heart
It is the dawn.

Ah, my heart
Do you hear the sound
Of the arch-angel's shout
And the trumpet's clarion?
In a moment, an eye's twinkling
All his saints shall be gathered 'round.
Ah, my heart
Ah, my heart
Hear the joyous sound.

Ah, My heart
Prepared as a bride.
Wed to the King,
And reigning at His side!
Evermore to taste the choicest wine;
The love of your groom, God's own son.
Ah, my heart
Ah, my heart
Sing the song of songs!

Ah, my heart
It is the dawn!
When I awoke
The dream, alas, was gone.
And I struggled and grasped
As a drowning man;
To no avail-life goes on.
Ah, my heart
Ah, my heart
'Tis just another dawn.
