There dwell the saints in heav’nly light, A holy, happy throng; There all is beautiful and bright, And Jesus is their song. 2 By faith I can its beauties see, Its splendor passing bright; And oft I’m longing there to be, Secure from every blight; I’m longing, for this vale is drear, And I’m by cares oppressed; I’m sighing for that home so dear, Where I may sweetly rest.
