ANTICIPATION by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS

First Line: SOME DAY IN HIGHEST HEAVEN, MADE FAIR AND WHITE
Last Line: AS I SHALL BE THAT DAY.
Subject(s): FUTURE LIFE; RETRIBUTION; ETERNITY; AFTER LIFE;
Some day in highest heaven, made fair and white
Before your happy sight,
I shall become, dear love, a fitting mate
For your so pure estate.

Would it were now! but since that cannot be,
I beg you look on me
With forward vision; see me now, I pray,
As I shall be that day.
