1 While thro’ this world we roam,
From infancy to age,
Heav’n is the Christian pilgrim’s home,
His rest at ev’ry stage.
2 Thither his soul ascends,
Eternal joys to share;
There his adoring spirit bends,
While here he kneels in prayer.
3 His freed affections rise,
To fix on things above,
Where all his hope of glory lies,—
Where all is perfect love.
4 There we our treasure place,
There let our hearts be found;
That still, where sin abounded, grace
May more and more abound.
5 Henceforth our converse be
With Christ before the throne;
Ere long we eye to eye shall see
And know as we are known.

Thither his raptured thought ascends,
Eternal joys to share;
There his adoring spirit bends,
While here be kneels in prayer.
From earth his freed affections rise
To fix on things above,
Where all his hope of glory lies,
And love is perfect love.
Oh! there may we our treasures place,
There let our hearts be found,
That still where sin abounded, grace
May more and more abound.
Henceforth our conversation be
With Christ before the throne:
Ere long we eye to eye shall see,
And know as we are known.
Sacred Poems and Hymns #2281 As through this changing world we roam
From infancy to age,
Heaven is the Christian pilgrim's home,
His rest at every stage;
Thither his raptured thoughts ascend,
Eternal joys to share;
There his adoring spirit bends,
While here he kneels in prayer.
2 From earth his freed affections rise
To fix on things above,
Where all his hope of glory lies,
And love is perfect love;
Ah! there may we our treasure place,
There let our hearts be found,
That sill where sin abounded, grace
May more and more abound.
