"Looking for Another Country, that is an Heavenly. " |
517. C. M. Montgomery. "Looking for another country, that is an heavenly." 1 While through this changing world we roam, From infancy to age, Heaven is the Christian pilgrim's home, His rest at every stage. 2 Thither his raptured thought ascends, Eternal joys to share; There his adoring spirit bends, While here he kneels in prayer. 3 Oh! there may we our treasure place, There let our hearts be found; That still, where sin abounded, grace May more and more abound. 4 Henceforth our conversation be With Christ before the throne; Ere long, we eye to eye shall see, And know as we are known.
