When Sorrows Encompass Me 'Round
When sorrows encompass me 'round, and many distresses I see, astonished I cry：can a
mortal be found surrounded with troubles like me? Surrounded with troubles like me.
Few seasons of peace I enjoy, and they are succeeded by pain… if e'er a few moments of
praise I employ, I have hours and days to complain. Hours and days to complain. O, when
will my sorrows subside? O, when will my sufferings cease? O when to the bosom of Christ
be conveyed to the mansions of glory and bliss? Mansions of glory and bliss. May I be
prepared for that day, when Jesus shall bid me remove… that I may in rapture go shouting
away to the arms of my heavenly love. Arms of my heavenly love. My spirit to glory
convey – my body laid low in the ground. I wish not a tear at my grave to be shed, but all
join in praising around. All join in praising around. No sorrow be vented that day, when
Jesus hath called me home. With singing and shouting let each brother say: he's gone from
the evil to come. Gone from the evil to come. Immersed in the ocean of love, my soul like
an angel shall sing, till Christ shall descend with a shout from above, and make all creation
to ring. Make all creation to ring. Our bodies in dust shall obey, and swifter than thought
shall arise, then change in a moment, go shouting away to mansions of love in the skies.
Mansions of love…
