His steadfast gaze beholds the heavenly city,and thither are his hastening footsteps bound;his trusted comrades, faith and prayer, attend him,and Love's protecting mantle wraps him 'round.

We waited, with the upper rooms of thoughtPrepared for Truth, with hope and faith and loveAll ready for the message from above,The bread of heaven with humble longing bought.

All the good thou hast ever knownwas in thine heart,Awaiting the gift of God's unfolding.

A grateful heart is like a sheltering treeWhose arms reach out to welcome every guest.
