A VISION OF HOME.

By Mrs. D. E. W.

BY MRS. D. E. W.

BEAUTIFUL heaven, blissful abode, Evergreen fields in the Eden of God, The gates ajar by faith I see, And the blessed Saviour who died for me.

Beautiful fields forever green, With nothing but the veil between. When the veil is rent, and life is come, My vision clear shall behold that home,

The jasper walls, the streets of gold, The Lamb of God, the Shepherd's fold, Immortal saints by the crystal sea, The river of life, the healing tree.

My soul in its vision would fain take flight, And soar to that blissful land of light, Away to that peaceful home on high, Where we'll live to love and never die.

And there, where white-robed angels are Within the gate that stands ajar, I long to dwell in that land so fair, With the saints at rest forever there.

O beautiful home, sweet Eden land, No storms e'er beat on thy shining strand! O gracious Saviour, fain would I flee, And be forever at rest with thee!
