THE HOME OF THE SAVED.

By J. P. Lorenz

BY J. P. LORENZ.

"And the ransomed of the Lord shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads; they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away." Isa. 35: 10.

"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain; for the former things are passed away." Rev. 21: 4.

THERE is a home prepared for the meek, With walls of jasper and gold, For those who through Jesus salvation do seek, Most precious and fair to behold.

There is a home for the weary to rest In yonder bright mansions of love; God's people will there be for evermore blest, In that beautiful city above.

There's a beautiful home on yonder bright shore, Where Jesus in glory doth reign; God's people will there be free evermore From sorrow, affliction, and pain.

There is evermore day, with no need of light; There night is turned into the day; For Jesus, the Lamb, is their glorious light; He scatters all darkness away.

Oh, ever blest home where God's people shall be, To rest from earth's sorrow and care; There they their Saviour in glory will see! I long, oh, I long to be there!
