HYMN 105. (C. M.) Heaven invisible and holy, 1 Cor. ii. 9, 10. Rev. xxi. 27.
I
Nor eye has seen, nor ear has heard,Nor sense nor reason known
What joys the father has prepar'd
For those that love the Son.
II
But the good Spirit of the LordReveals a heaven to come:
The beams of glory in his word
Allure and guide us home.
III
Pure are the joys above the sky,And all the region peace;
No wanton lips, nor envious eye
Can see or taste the bliss.
IV
Those holy gates for ever barPollution, sin, and shame;
None shall obtain admittance there
But followers of the Lamb.
283
V
He keeps the Father's book of life,There all their names are found;
The hypocrite in vain shall strive
To tread the heavenly ground.
