Arise and depart, etc.
Micah 2:16.
This is not my place of resting,
Mine a city yet to come;
Onward to it I am hasting—
On to my eternal home.
2 In it, all is light and glory,
O’er it shines a nightless day:
Every trace of sin’s sad story,
All the curse has passed away.
3 There the Lamb, our Shepherd, leads us,
By the streams of life along;
On the freshest pastures feeds us,
Turns our sighing into song.
4 Soon we pass this desert dreary,
Soon we bid farewell to pain;
Never more be sad or weary,
Never, never sin again.
Bonar.
