Our Heavenly House
A life in garden and field
Is the Eden life we live
When sin and sinner is healed
In that earth that God will give.

And mans kingship is returned
And in eternity’s light
All things clearly are discerned
And all things are judged aright.

The low order know mans sway,
Again the fierce is gentle,
Beasts so wild a trust convey:
Supremacy of mental.

All timid and so trustful,
Every creature trusting man.
All harmony and rightful
Willing to obey Gods plan.

Our vision that is clouded
Then will stand on vantage ground,
Mystic things now so shrouded
In light distinct will abound.

Each faculty there rouses
As eternity we span,
To, people will build houses
Homes for the immortal man.

Yes most glorious houses
By the holy prophet seen.
Houses with silver dresses,
With a glory glitter sheen.

With four pillars for support,
And most glorious to behold,
Pillars that gems of pearl disport,
And studs of pearl enfold.

In these houses saints would go,
To put their crowns upon a shelf,
Houses that we too may know,
Much more beautiful than delf.

Then with light about their heads
They do something with the earth.
Waves of flowers round them spread,
Living beauty, fadeless worth.
