We've no abiding city here,
We seek a land beyond our sight;
Zion its name--the Lord is there
It shines with everlasting light,
O, sweet abode of peace and love,
Where pilgrims, freed from toil are blest
Had I the pinions of a dove
I'd fly to Thee and be at rest
But hush my soul nor dare repine
The time thy God appoints is best
While here to do His will be mine
And His to fix my time of rest.
REV. I CONNER
