    A song written by Joseph Irons in Zion's Hymns. (in common meter)

    "Aspiration"

    1. Lord, I am thine, by second birth,
    Redeem'd with precious blood;
    Why should my spirit cleave to earth!
    And live so far from God?

    2. See how my longing soul aspires,
    To breathe my native air;
    Access to heaven my heart desires,
    Because my God is there.

    3. I cannot live on sensual toys,
    Since thou hast given me grace;
    I thirst for those celestial joys,
    Which shine in Jesus' face.

    4. O, draw me nearer - nearer still!
    In fellowship with thee,
    Until I stand on Zion's hill,
    And all thy glory see.
