That city with foundations sure (Heb. 11:10),
How clear its glories shine (Rev. 21:23)!
Attracting us to where He's gone (Heb. 2:9),
That fair celestial clime (John 14:2).

Brought from the earth and from the sea (1 Ths.4:16),
Loved ones whom death did part (Heb. n:13),
Eternally like Him to be (Rom. 8:29),
Sweet prospect for the heart (Phil. 3:21)!
Sweeter by far His love to share (Eph. 5:2),
Eager His praises to declare (Rev. 5:9),
Desire of all to meet Him there (Phil, i:23).

Hope to an anchor is compared (Heb. 6:19),
On oath this hope was given (Gen. 22:16),
Pointing us onward to the bliss (Rom. 8:21),
Expectant heirs of heaven (i Pet. i:4). Js. Fs.
