Jerusalem Celestial

By L. D. SANTEE

L. D. SANTEE
Jerusalem celestial! for many years you’ve called us, Across the pavements golden and through the pearly gate; The glorious “many mansions” hold a promise that enthralls us; We want to dwell with Jesus, and it seems so long to wait.
Jerusalem celestial! how often, upward gazing, Have we glimpsed beyond the azure to the paradise of God! Our faith has seen the tree of life and heaven’s glories blazing, And love rejoiced to see the home where holy angels trod.
Jerusalem celestial! sweet home of joy and beauty, Fair land where sin can never come, that for the faithful waits, Soon will the blood-washed seek thy rest from lives of love and duty, And an abundant entrance win within thy pearly gates.
Moline, Ill.
