  1. We’ve no abiding city here:
    This may distress the worldling’s mind,
    But should not cost the saint a tear,
    Who hopes a better rest to find.

  2. We’ve no abiding city here:
    Sad truth, were this to be our home,
    But let this thought our spirits cheer;
    We seek a city yet to come.

  3. We’ve no abiding city here;
    We seek a city out of sight.
    Zion its name; the Lord is there;
    It shines with everlasting light.

  4. O sweet abode of peace and love,
    Where pilgrims freed from toil are blest;
    Had I the pinions of the dove,
    I'd flee to thee and be at rest.

  5. But hush, my soul, nor dare repine;
    The time my God appoints is best:
    While here, to do His will be mine,
    And His to fix my time of rest. Amen.
