Hymn 574 – NAY! no abode for us on earth | C&S English Hymnary

1. NAY! no abode for us on earth This of woe unto sinners be No passion for The holy saints They desire heavenly rest. 2. Nay! no abode for us on earth What a woe! if our home is here May our thought pleasant moment brought All our hope the city to come. 3. Nay! no abode for us on earth The great city, sought but not seen Zion the city of our Lord Ever shine ever gleaming light. 4. Lord who art the abode of love Where the pilgrims their rest observe E’en though wings I have like the dove Unto Thee I shall fly and rest. 5. Be still and not enraged my soul Wait for the season of the Lord Mine; Thine will alone to obey Thine; Me with Thy glory endow AMEN
