| CELESTIAL city, fair, beyond the sky,
Beyond the light of sun or shining star___ By faith I see it, standing thus afar; Within its walls my fond possessions lie, And often in the flesh I longing sigh That some swift messenger with golden car Would sweep so low my hand could touch the bar, And I be carried thence o'er mountains high, Into the spirit realm, where God is light; Where peace supernal reigns, where love is law;. Where Truth forever sits enthroned as king; Where faith shall end in actual living sight; Where thought and doubt and dread no longer awe The soul, which feels the blight of sin's deep sting. __James A.
