185. We Have a Home Above

S.M.
by H. Bennett
1
We have a home above,
 
From all defilement free:
 
A mansion which eternal love
 
Prepared our rest to be.
2
The Father’s gracious hand
 
Has built that blest abode;
 
From everlasting it was planned,
 
The dwelling-place of God.
3
The Savior’s precious blood
 
Has made our title sure;
 
He passed through death’s dark, raging flood,
 
To make our rest secure.
4
The Comforter is come,
 
The Earnest has been given;
 
He leads us onward to the home
 
Reserved for us in heaven.
“To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you.” (1 Peter 1:4)
5
Thy love, most gracious Lord,
 
Our joy and strength shall be;
 
Till Thou shalt speak the gladdening word
 
That bids us rise to Thee.
6
And then through endless days,
 
Where all Thy glories shine,
 
In happier, holier strains we’ll praise
 
The grace that made us Thine.
