Joy to the World ‎#23

23. Heaven-Whispers

1 There's not a bright and beaming smile
Which in the world I see,
But turns my heart to future joy,
And whispers "heaven" to me.
Tho' often here my soul is sad,
And falls the silent tear.
There is a world where all are glad,
And sorrow dwells not there.

2 I never grasp a friendly hand
In greeting or farewell,
But thoughts of an eternal home
Within my bosom swell.
A prayer to meet in heaven at last,
Where all the ransomed come,
And where eternal ages still
Shall find us all at home.
