Prepare for Heaven.

By S. Elmer

PREPARE for heaven. We are going To the joys of paradise, Where the crystal stream is flowing, And the verdant landscapes rise.
When shall dawn that day of splendor, Fairer than creation's morn, That dispels our tears and sorrows, When our Saviour shall return?
Prepare for heaven. There is beauty Round the radiant throne on high; And the chosen ones and faithful Will behold it by and by.
Earth is dark, and earth is dreary; How it groans beneath the curse! Sing, ye pilgrims lone and weary, There's a brighter day for us.
Prepare for heaven. Music's ringing Yonder through those realms of light, Where the angel-choir is singing, Clad in spotless robes of white.
Strength from hope then let us borrow, While our lonely way we wend; Soon there comes a brighter morrow, When our pilgrimage will end. S. ELMER.
