Oh that day when freed from sinning
I shall see Thy lovely face
Full arrayed in blood-washed linen
How I’ll sing Thy sovereign grace
Come, my Lord, no longer tarry
Bring Thy promises to pass
For I know Thy pow’r will keep me
Till I’m home with Thee at last

Here I raise my Ebenezer, hither by Thy help I come
And I hope by Thy good pleasure safely to arrive at home
Jesus sought me when a stranger, wandering from the fold of God
He, to rescue me from danger, interposed His precious blood.
Don’t know which is the original lyrics, but I like both.

My family and I are so blessed to be able to worship with my rudimentary guitar skills, and this offering is a huge help. My 7 year old really wanted me to learn “Rock of Ages,” so that’s how I found you.

I play the mandolin and they both sound good. I think I prefer your version slightly better David.

For the 5th and 6th lines, I think these chords sound better:

Teach me [Am]some mel[F]odious [C]sonnet,

Sung by [Am]flaming [F]tongues a[C]bove.

This is another great old song.
I think we had it in a songbook from a crusade run by Southern Baptists from Missouri in the later 60s.
