LyicsTHERE is a heaven above the skies--
A heaven where pleasure never dies--
A heaven--the place of his abode--
The glorious palace of our God.
And thither tend our weary feet:
Narrow the road, and strait the gait:--
Ten thousand dangers lurk around,
To lure us from Immanuel's ground.
But glory be to God on high,
Whose word is sure, whose power is nigh
Unequal to the foes we dread,
We trust in Christ our glorious head.
Farewell, dear brethren in the Lord,
Confide in Christ--believe his word:
These trials but our graces prove:
Be faithful to the God you love.
