***************************************
There’s a Land that is fairer than day,
And by faith we can see it afar;
For the Father waits over the way
To prepare us a dwelling place there.
In the sweet by and by,
We shall meet on that beautiful shore.
In the sweet by and by,
We shall meet on that beautiful shore.
We shall sing on that beautiful shore
The Melodious Songs of the blest;
And our spirits shall sorrow no more,
Not a sigh for the blessing of rest.
*****************
… Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven. Acts 1:11

***************************************
Trust and Obey
When we walk with the Lord
in the light of His word,
What a glory He sheds on our way!
While we do His good will,
He abides with us still,
and with all who will Trust and obey.
Trust and obey, for there’s no other way
To be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.
Not a burden we bear,
Not a sorrow we share,
But our toil He doth richly repay;
Not a grief or a loss,
Not a frown or a cross,
But is blest if we trust and obey.
Trust and obey, for there’s no other way
To be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.
