Heaven
'O HEAVEN, of my Father,'
Eternal and limitless you be;
So full of light, no less your might
And host to all eternity.
A holy, hallowed province,
And so has ever been.
Nothing corrupt; not human flesh
Has ever interred in.
So how to speak of 'everlasting,'
I feel that no one here can know.
To get a truthful understanding,
You really have to go.
