1
We have no a-bid-ing ci-ty here, Sad truth, were this
Our rest; But for-ward still we press, through good and ill,
Se-cure of rest A-bove; For we have Christ for all.
2
Here faith and pa-tience we may learn, And they shall
Our home; But let us not think to find our rest down here,
For the Lord's good Will we bow, With love to Him, and trust to His.
3
And now we go for-ward on our way, With songs in-stead of tears,
To en-ter in at the e-ter-nal gates, That stand al-ways
A-jar; For the Lord's good Will we bow, With love to Him, and trust to His.
