Going Home

By Mrs. Pauline Alderman

MRS. PAULINE ALDERMAN
My faith grasps a future through Christ and the cross; I see it, and count all my treasures but dross; For it opes to my vision a scene of delight, A land where no sorrow ere cometh to blight.
And the joys there forever and ever endure, In the home of the saved, the tried, and the pure. O spare not, great Master, my soul to refine; Whate'er be the cost, let salvation be mine.
Let me stand with thy people, the saved and the blest, Where the home is eternal, and perfect the rest; Where the river of crystal, so cooling and sweet, Will ripple with gladness for aye at our feet.
O, the hills and the valleys of heaven are green With a verdure we mortals have never yet seen; And the fruits of that country can never decay; For death and the blight are left over the way.
There the song of redemption will ever be sung By the peaceful and happy ones, angels among; And we'll see the dear Saviour, and lay at his feet The crowns he has bought us, our rapture complete.
