Last Line: Golden jerusalem floats full in view
Alternate Author Name(s): Alleyne, Ellen; Rossetti, Christina
Subject(s): God; Faith; Saints


Lift up thine eyes to seek the invisible:
Stir up thy heart to choose the still unseen:
Strain up thy hope in glad perpetual green
To scale the exceeding height where all saints dwell.
Saints, is it well with you ? ''" Yea, it is well, ''"
Where they have reaped, by faith kneel thou to glean:
Because they stooped so low to reap, they lean
Now over golden harps unspeakable. ''" -
But thou purblind and deafened, knowest thou
Those glorious beauties unexperienced
By ear or eye or by heart hitherto ? ''"
I know Whom I have trusted: wherefore now
All amiable, accessible tho' fenced,
Golden Jerusalem floats full in view.
