S. Psa_84:7.
Strength for the journey upward, To the realms of light and love;
God’s strength, in the might of the Spirit, Is my privilege to prove. To leave the world and its shadows In the distance far behind; Where they grope in the blackness and darkness, Who are lame and halt and blind. To get nearer the home, where the music Is heard thro’ eternal day; To get nearer the Father’s presence, Where His love beams bright alway.
Thus pants my longing spirit; And Jesus shall bring me there; Nor swollen my feet with the journey, Nor my clothes the worse of the wear.
