[*] W Cennick VE'VE no abiding city here"This may distress the worldly mind o But should not cost the saint a tear, Who hopes a better rest to find. e 2 "We've no abiding city here"e Sad truth, were this to be our home: o But let this thought our spirits cheer, "We seek a city yet to come." 3 "We've no abiding city here"Then let us live as pilgrims do; Let not the world our rest appear, But let us haste from all below. e 4 "We've no abiding city here"— 8 We seek a city out of sight; Zion its name-the Lord is there, It shines with everlasting light.
