THE HEAVENLY HOME,

By Mary E. Guilford

Would you have a home in Heaven, With the holy, pure, and good— Those whose sins are all forgiven, Washed away in Christ's own blood?
Would you drink of that pure river, Flowing from God's holy throne? Bask in Jesus' smiles forever— From his presence never roam?
Would you enter that blest city, Tread its streets of burnished gold, Gaze upon its wondrous beauty, Share its joys, and wealth untold?
Would you mount fair Zion's height, Pluck its never-fading flowers, Bask in scenes of pure delight, Found in those ambrosial bowers?
Would you join the angel choir In ascribing praise to God? Let these themes thy soul inspire, While you pass beneath the rod.
Put away all evil speaking; All hypocrisy and guile; If you are the kingdom seeking, Flee from all that would defile.
With a humble mind press on; Upward bend your earnest gaze; Pause not to heed the world's cold frown, Go not in their sinful ways.
With thine eye fixed on the prize, Keep within the narrow road, Till the Lord from yonder skies, Take you up to his abode.
MARY E. GUILFORD.
