To reach thine height with wondering eyes.

Watts.

“We’ve no abiding city here:”—

This may distress the worldly mind;

But should not cost the saint a tear,

Who hopes a better rest to find.

“We’ve no abiding city here;”

We seek a city out of sight;

Zion its name,—the Lord is there,

It shines with everlasting light.
