Текст песни Safe (Attalus) с переводом

I live here as a fish in a vessel of water

Only enough to keep me alive

But in heaven I shall swim in the ocean

Here I have a little air in me to keep me breathing

But there I shall have sweet and fresh gales;

Here I have a beam of sun to lighten my darkness

A warm ray to keep me from freezing;

Yonder I shall live in light and warmth for ever

My natural desires are corrupt and misguided

And it is thy mercy to destroy them;

My spiritual longings are of thy planting

And thou wilt water and increase them;

Quicken my hunger and thirst after

The realm above

Here I can have the world

There I shall have thee in Christ;

Here is a life of longing and prayer

There is assurance without suspicion

Asking without refusal;

Here are gross comforts, more burden

Than benefit

There is joy without sorrow

Comfort without suffering

Love without inconstancy

Rest without weariness

Give me to know that heaven is all love

Where the eye affects the heart

And the continual viewing of thy beauty

Keeps the soul in continual transports

Of delight

Give me to know that heaven is all peace

Where error, pride, rebellion, passion

Raise no head

Give me to know that heaven is all joy

The end of believing, fasting, praying

Mourning, humbling, watching

And lead me to it soon
