The City of God

By L. D. Santee

L. D. SANTEE
“I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself.” John 14: 2, 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 them “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.
Chicago, Ill.
