There Is a Habitation

There is a habitation,
Built by the living God,
For all, of ev'ry nation,
Who seek that grand abode.

A city with foundations,
Firm as th' eternal throne,
Nor wars, nor desolations
Shall ever move a stone.

No night is there, no sorrow,
No death, and no decay;
No yesterday, no morrow--
But one eternal day.

Within its pearly portals,
Angelic armies sing,
With glorified immortals,
The praises of its King.
