Onward To My Celestial Abode

Celestial radiance… ...brightened by God’s eternal love Cheers me up in my earthly sojourn… …as a pilgrim vanquishing sin-inflicted throes Beheld by divine witnesses far above the firmament... …in circumspectly treading service-paths! With faith’s pinion… …I march toward my heavenly* abode Subduing tendency to be lissome in my spirit…… …For my soul’s triumphant repose While trusting my sovereign Guide… …midst reproaches that besmirch my testimony! *Hebrews 11:16 But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.
