232. L. M. Montgomery.

Heaven.

1 Heaven is a state of rest from sin;

But all who hope to enter there

Must here that holy course begin,

Which shall their souls for rest prepare.

2 Clean hearts, O God, in us create!

Right spirits, Lord, in us renew!

Commence we now that higher state,

Now do Thy will as angels do.

3 In Jesus' footsteps may we tread,

Learn every lesson of his love;

And be from grace to glory led,

From heaven below to heaven above.
