OUR HOME.

By J. M. Cartwright

OUR Saviour has gone a place to prepare, In that far better country, the land bright and fair; His Spirit He's promised to send to us here, That will guide us in truth till the day-dawn appear.

He will come yet again; send abroad the glad cry; As He went will He come; and His coming draws nigh, To gather His people, forever made free, With Christ in His kingdom forever to be.

And when Christ comes again His own to receive, Made ready because on His word they believe, To their long-promised home He will bear them on high, Where illness ne'er comes, where His people ne'er die.

The city of gold forms a great perfect square, There His people shall dwell who His sorrows did share, In beautiful mansions which will never grow old, Where the streets of the city are purest of gold.

In that earth made new death will never be known; All meet in glad rapture around His great throne. Then forever with Christ, with our trials all o'er, We will meet lost and loved on that beautiful shore.
