Where is Heaven?

BY JACOB CLEMENS.

Where mercy reigns with grace divine
And justice rules with square and line,
Then query not, but do thy part,
And seek, and find it, in thy heart.
Thus Jesus taught, you must begin
To know that Heaven is within
And knowing thus begin.
You will know the Father and the son
Not as passing strangers. He dwells within
To sup with thee and thee with Him.
This blessing now to man is given
So where God is, there is Heaven—
And so with joy. We can declare,
In Heaven below, and Heaven above,
The ruling Principle is Love,
And they in Heaven discard all hate,
Pure Love they always cultivate.
May justice rule in every heart
And mercy reign in every part.
We soon shall know of heavenly joy
And taste the sweet without alloy.
