48. High, in the Father's House Above
C.M.
by J.G. Deck
High, in the Father’s house above,
There is the home, the rest we love,
And there our bright reward.
With Him we love, in spotless white,
His blissful presence our delight,
“Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy.” (Jude 24)
All taint of sin shall be removed,
And we shall dwell with God’s Beloved,
Through God’s eternal day.
“And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.” (Revelation 21:3)
“And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.” (Revelation 21:25)
