| Except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it. (Psa. 127:1) |
| In this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven. We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. (2 Cor. 5:2,8) |
Here in the body pent,
Absent from Him we roam,
Yet nightly pitch our moving tent
A day’s march nearer home. |
There shall all clouds depart;
The wilderness shall cease;
And sweetly shall each gladdened heart
Enjoy eternal peace. |
