Absent from Flesh

By Isaac Watts and Jamie Barnes

Absent from flesh, O blissful thought

What joy this moment brings

Freed from the blame my sin has brought,

From pain and death and its sting.

Absent from flesh, O Glorious day! 

In one triumphant stroke

My reckoning paid, my charges dropped 

and the bonds 'round my hands are broke.

CHORUS: 

I go where God and glory shine,

To one eternal day

This failing body I now resign,

For the angels point my way.

For the angels point my way.

Absent from flesh! then rise, my soul, 

Where feet nor wings could climb, 

Beyond the sky, where planets roll, 

And beyond all keep of time.
