In Heaven All Is Gladness
Here Troubles Press, And Fears;
Here Often Bowed And Sighing,
I Eat “The Bread Of Tears.”
Here Joy And Sorrow Mingle
For Christ’s Beloved Bride;
But ‘Tis Not So Up Yonder,
For There Doth Joy Abide.
This World Is Not My Homeland,
In Tents I Pass My Days;
Toward Yonder Shore Of Glory
With Yearnings Eyes I Gaze.
While Seeks The World Its Follies,
I View Yon Citadel,
Where, Free From Care And Sorrow,
Forever I Shall Dwell.
Would I Exchange Conditions
With One, Whose All’s Below?
Nay, Rather I’d Be Sowing
Good Seed, Tho’ Tears May Flow.
If At The Close Of Journey
I But In Joy May Reap,
When World Lings’ Joys Are Over,
And They, Too Late, Must Weep.
My Hope For Life Eternal
Rests On Foundation Sure;
My Cross I Therefore Gladly
Will Yet Awhile Endure.
Soon There Shall Be No Sorrow,
No Plaints, Nor Sighs For Me,
When, With Uncovered Vision,
My Savior I Shall See.
