Author: Anon. Hymnal: Christ in Song #938 (1908) Topics: The Home Eternal Nearing Home First Line: The glories of that heav'nly land Lyrics: 1. The glories of that heav'nly land I've ofttimes felt before; But what I feel is just a taste, And makes me long for more, And makes me long for more. 2.

The crown's for them that fight; The prize for those that win the race By faith, and not by sight, By faith, and not by sight. Languages: English Tune Title: CHOPIN

See how its glory is passing away; Break the strong fetters the foe hath bound o'er thee; Heir of the kingdom, turn, turn thee away. 4 Keep the eye single, the head upward lifted; Watch for the glory of earth's coming King; Lo! o'er the mountaintops light is now breaking; Heir of the kingdom, rejoice ye and sing.
