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.
