THE CHRISTIAN'S HOME.
|
I HAVE no resting place on earth, On which to fix my love;
But, oh! my heart is yearning for The promised rest above. 'Tis true this earth is passing fair, O'er which I sadly roam; But yet it has no charms for me, For heaven is my home. A pilgrim long I've wander'd here, But with a steadfast eye I see the rest reserved for me At God's right hand on high; Then all the joys of earth in vain Shall tempt my feet to roam, To seek a rest on earth below, Since heaven is my home. Oh! were this world as fair as when Primeval Eden smiled, I would not, by its glowing charms, To dwell here be beguiled; But I would seek a brighter world, Where God has bid me come; Then seek no more to bind me here, For heaven is my home. |
WM. BAXTER. |
[The Millennial Harbinger (January 1849): 43.]
