《When Sorrows Encompass Me ’Round》歌词

[00:00:00] When Sorrows Encompass Me 'Round - Betse Ellis

[00:00:04] When sorrows encompass me around

[00:00:07] And many distresses I see

[00:00:11] Astonished I cry

[00:00:12] Can a mortal be found

[00:00:15] Surrounded with troubles like me

[00:00:19] Surrounded with troubles like me

[00:00:24] Few seasons of peace I enjoy

[00:00:28] And they are succeeded by pain

[00:00:32] If ever a few moments of praise I employ

[00:00:36] I have hours and days to complain

[00:00:41] Hours and days to complain

[00:00:46] O when will my sorrows subside

[00:00:50] O when will my sufferings cease

[00:00:54] O when to the bosom of Christ

[00:00:57] Be conveyed to the mansions of glory and bliss

[00:01:02] Mansions of glory and bliss

[00:01:06] May I be

[00:01:07] Prepared for that day

[00:01:10] When Jesus shall bid me remove

[00:01:14] That I may in rapture go shouting

[00:01:16] Away to the arms of my heavenly love

[00:01:22] Arms of my heavenly love

[00:01:26] My spirit to glory convey my body

[00:01:30] Laid low in the ground

[00:01:33] I wish not a tear at my grave to be shed

[00:01:36] But all join in praising around

[00:01:40] All join in praising around

[00:01:45] No sorrow be vented that day

[00:01:48] When Jesus hath called me home

[00:01:52] With singing and shouting let each brother say

[00:01:56] He's gone from the evil to come

[00:02:00] Gone from the evil to come

[00:02:07] Immersed in the ocean of love

[00:02:11] My soul like an angel shall sing

[00:02:15] Till Christ shall descend with a shout from above

[00:02:19] Make all creation to ring

[00:02:22] Make all creation to ring

[00:02:44] Bodies in dust shall obey

[00:02:46] And swifter than thought shall arise

[00:02:49] Then change in a moment

[00:02:50] Go shouting away to mansions of love in the skies

[00:02:57] Mansions of love
