The City of God

By L. D. SANTEE

L. D. SANTEE
“Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God.” Ps. 87: 3.
[ I AM waiting for that city Where the pavements are of gold. O, the joys within its portals! O, the treasures they enfold! And the feet whose weary journey Climbed the rugged mountains steep Shall, beside life's flowing waters, Find their resting long and sweet.
I am waiting for those mansions And the mysteries they hold, Waiting, while my heart is yearning With a hungering untold. And the Saviour's gracious promise Fills my being more and more, Till I long to know the secrets Waiting on the farther shore.
Some day will the veil be lifted, Hiding mansions bright and fair. Some day will the skies be rifted; We shall see thee “over there.” There will come a day of resting, When the pain and toil are done, When the heartaches are forgotten In the peace and joy of home.
Moline, Ill.
