THERE is a dwelling-place above; There is a paradise of rest; For contrite hearts and souls distrest Its streams of comfort flow. There is a goodly heritage, Where earthly passions cease to rage; May feast, nor crave again. There is a voice to mercy true; There is a name, in heav'n bestow'd; The friends of peace shall know. There is a kingdom in the sky. Where they shall reign with God on high, Who serve him best below. Now pause, and view the votaries o'er, Who faithful to the Saviour's lore, The Saviour's blessing seek. The poor in spirit lead the train, Then they who mourn their inward stain, The merciful, the meek : And here the pure in heart; and here, These are the saints, the holy ones, His call with willing mind obey; Lord, be it mine like them to choose The means thy love hath given : Be holiness my aim on earth, There, wearing crowns and holding palms, In "hymns devout and holy psalms" Those spirits just unite With thy celestial angel train: Cleans'd by the Lamb no spots remain, No speck of earthly mould, to stain Their robes of dazzling white. No sounds of woe their joy molest: But God has wiped away the tear From every face, and keeps them clear From anxious doubt, and startling fear, From sorrow as from sin.
