Vol 01 - Heaven

Heaven My heart is bounding onward, Home to the land I love; Its distant vales and fountains, My wistful passions move.

Fain would my fainting spirit, Its living freshness breathe, And wearied steps find rest, in Its hallowed shades beneath. No soil of nature’s evil, No touch of man’s rude hand, Shall e’er disturb around us That bright and happy land. The charms that woo the senses, Shall be as pure as fair, For all while stealing o’er us, Shall tell of Jesus there.

What light! when all its beaming Shall own Him as its sun!

What music when its breathing Shall bear His name along! No change, no pause, its pleasures Shall ever seek to know; The draft that lulls our thirsting But wakes our thirst anew.

LAW.-Prohibition, requirement, curse.
