Those who live upon earth are
seeking the things of earth; but those who live above in God seek the
things which are above. Nothing of earth has any charms for them. Christ
has won their hearts. They love him intensely. They live in him. They
are sojourning here upon earth for a time, but their hearts are with
Christ in heaven. Their home, their love, their treasures, their hopes,
their thoughts, their life,--all are there, and they are seeking with
eagerness for more of that sweet, precious life which is from above.
They walk here almost like one in a dream, as concerning this world;
they know but little of earth, but much of heaven.
This earth is not my home,
I live above,
Where peace and joys abound--
Sweet land of love.
My life is hid in God
With Christ the Son,
Though here on earth I am
By earth unknown.
I dwell in worlds above,
By thought and prayer--
Oh, blest eternal home!
My heart is there.
