4814 In Heaven All Is Gladness

4814 In Heaven All Is Gladness

1

In Heaven all is gladness—

Here troubles press, and fears;

Here often bowed and sighing,

I eat “the bread of tears.”

Here joy and sorrow mingle

For Christ’s beloved bride;

But ’tis not so up yonder,

For there doth joy abide.

2

This world is not my homeland,

In tents I pass my days;

Tow’rd yonder shore of glory

With yearnings eyes I gaze.

While seeks the world its follies,

I view yon citadel,

Where, free from care and sorrow,

Forever I shall dwell.

3

Would I exchange conditions

With one, whose all’s below?

Nay, rather I’d be sowing

Good seed, tho’ tears may flow.

If at the close of journey

I but in joy may reap,

When worldlings’ joys are over,

And they, too late, must weep.

4

My hope for life eternal

Rests on foundation sure;

My cross I therefore gladly

Will yet awhile endure.

Soon there shall be no sorrow,

No plaints, nor sighs for me,

When, with uncovered vision,

My Savior I shall see.
