LyicsWe've no abiding city here!
This may distress the worldling's mind,
But should not cause the saint a tear,
Who hopes a better rest to find.
We've no abiding city here!
Sad truth, were this to be our home;
But let this thought our spirits cheer,
We seek a city yet to come.
O sweet abode of peace and love,
Where pilgrims freed form toil are blest,
Had I the pinions of a dove,
I'd fly to thee, and be at rest.
