I wish I could more readily
This earthly love let fly;
And ever in true righteousness
The flesh and lusts deny.
You speak of hope and better things
Than most can see down here.
For aye, the things of which You speak
Cannot be seen from here.
Except we ope the Word of God
And in Him e'er abide,
And thus behold the heavenly joy
That fools do now deride.
