| Here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come. (Heb. 13:14) |
| The city was pure gold, like unto clear glass. And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. (Rev. 21:18,23) |
It is not for us to be seeking our bliss,
And building our hopes in a region like this:
We look for a city which hands have not
piled —
We pant for a country by sin undefiled. |
With a scrip on the back, and a staff in the
hand,
We march on in haste through an enemy’s
land;
The road may be rough, but it cannot be long,
And we’ll smooth it with hope, and we’ll
cheer it with song. |
