8754. By Faith, I See Uplaid

1 By faith, I see uplaid
A land with beauty crowned,
Where trees, and flowers that never fade,
And richest fruits abound.

2 A land of endless day,
Of bright, unclouded sky,
Ungirt by wave and billowy sea,
Or sand of golden dye.

3 The home of angels bright,
And saints from earth set free,
Who walk with Christ in spotless white,
’Midst shouts of victory.

4 Thither my wayworn feet
Their constant steps shall tend;
Till to its shining, golden street,
They finally ascend.

5 To this delightful end,
O Lord, Thy grace bestow,
O teach me humbly to depend
On Thee, my journey through.
