Lyics

My rest is in heaven, my home is not here;

Then why should I murmur when trials appear?

Be hushed, my tired spirit, the worst that can come

But shortens thy journey, and hastens thee home.



It is not for me to be seeking my bliss,

And building my hopes in a region like this;

I look for a city, which hands have not piled,

I pant for a region by sin undefiled.
