He hath prepared for them a city.
Heb. 11:16.
We are on our journey home,
Where Christ our Lord is gone;
We shall meet around his throne,
When he makes his people one
In the new Jerusalem.
2 We can see that distant home,
Though clouds rise dark between;
Faith views the radiant dome,
And a luster flashes keen
From the new Jerusalem.
3 O glory shining far
From the never-setting Sun!
O trembling morning star!
Our journey’s almost done
To the new Jerusalem.
4 O holy! heavenly home!
O, rest eternal there!
When shall the exiles come,
Where they cease from earthly care,
In the new Jerusalem.
5 Our hearts are breaking now
Those mansions fair to see:
O Lord! thy heavens bow,
And raise us up with thee
To the new Jerusalem.
C. Beecher.
