Holiness and happiness.

HEAV'N is a place of rest from sin, But all who hope to enter there, Must here that holy course begin, Which shall their souls for rest prepare.

Clean hearts, O God, in us create, Right spirits, Lord, in us renew, Commence we now that higher state, Now do thy will as angels do. A life in heav'n! oh what is this? The sum of all that faith believed; Fulness of joy and depth of bliss, Unseen, unfathomed, unconceived.

The church of Christ, the school of grace, The Spirit teaching by the word; In those our Savior's steps we trace, By this his living voice is heard.

Firm in his footsteps may we tread, Learn every lesson of his love; And we from grace to glory led, From heav'n below, to heav'n above.
