443. "We know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of WHEN on my day of life the night is falling, I hear far voices out of darkness calling Thou, who hast made my home of life so pleasant, I have but thee, my Father! let thy spirit Be with me then to comfort and uphold; No gate of pearl, no branch of palm I merit, Nor street of shining gold. Suffice it if my good and ill unreckoned, And both forgiven through thy abounding grace Leave not its tenant when its walls decay; I find myself by hands familiar beckoned O Love Divine, O Helper ever present, Be thou my strength and stay! Be near me when all else is from me drifting: and shine, And kindly faces to my own uplifting Unto my fitting place. PILGRIMS. 11.10: 11.10: 5.4: 5.6. HENRY SMART. Onward we go, for still we hear them singing, Far, far away, like bells at evening pealing, Rest comes at length, though life be long and dreary, All journeys end in welcome to the weary, And heaven, the heart's true home, will come at last.
