FOREVER with the Lord!
  Amen! so let it be!
Life from the dead is in that word,
  And immortality.

  Here in the body pent,
  Absent from him I roam,
Yet nightly pitch my moving tent
  A day’s march nearer home.

  My Father’s house on high,
  Home of my soul! how near,
At times, to faith’s foreseeing eye...
