A HOME IN HEAVEN.

By Sarah F. Sharpe.

A HOME in Heaven so pure and bright, That needs no sun to give it light, For God himself its light shall be, Before whose face all gloom shall flee.

A home in Heaven, passing fair, No sin nor death can enter there, Bright angels stand and sing glad lays, And tune their harps in endless praise.

That city fair, with joys untold, With gates of pearl and streets of gold, Its walls are built of precious stone, As lasting as Jehovah's throne.

That home above nought can surpass, Its golden courts like unto glass; Its domes and turrets brightly shine In crystal splendors all divine.

Out from the throne a stream doth glide, Upon its banks on either side The lovely tree of life is seen, All dressed in robes of living green.

Twelve kinds of fruit, delicious, rare, Its waving branches freely bare; Its leaves will all the nations heal, Who have received the Father's seal.

Help us, O God, to keep thy law; Help us from error to withdraw; Thus be prepared when Christ shall come, To share the joys of that glad home.
