English text Holyoke's text And let this feeble body fail, And let it faint and die. My soul shall quit this mournful vale, And soar to worlds on high: Shall join the disembodied saints, And find its long-sought rest, (That only bliss for which it pants,) In the Redeemer's breast.

Charles Wesley's first stanza And let this feeble body fail, And let it droop, or die. My soul shall quit the mournful vale, And soar to worlds on high: Shall join the disembodied saints, And find its long-sought rest, (That only bliss for which it pants,) In my Redeemer's breast.
