UP Freely My Soul Expects The Call

Freely my soul expects the call
And with transporting view
Stretches her wings to reach her home
And bids the world adieu

Marianne Dicker

From a book called 'A sinner saved, by George Foxwell, it is a poem contained within the book, specifically the second verse.

The full poem
Behold, the welcome day is come,
My Saviour's voice I hear;
How sweet the sound, how king the call!
'T is music in my ear.

2
Freely my soul accepts the call,
And, with transporting view,
Stretches her winds to reach her home.
And bids the world, Adieu.

3
Adieu my kindred, all adieu.
My Christian friends farewell;
I can no longer stay with you.
Nor in this desert dwell.

4
Oft has my soul refreshed been,
And Sweetly drawn Along
In social worship here below,
When Christ has been the song.

5
But now, my dearest friends, we part.
No more on earth to meet;
Let Christ be all in every heart.
For his communion's sweet.

6
Soon shall we meet again, and at
Our heavenly Father's seat,
Sit down in peace from all our foes
And worship at his feet
