We love all the things of the world,

They are good before us;

We love to stay long in the world,

Not wanting to leave them.

Why should we love all earthly things,

When there’s one world above?

There shall no sin or evil found,

There is no peril there.

The world that exists in the high,

O that it’s known to us;

There is joy, love and charity,

All these are found up there.

In this world, there are death, around,

There is no death in heav’n;

Only the saints of God stay there,

In the immortal world.

Let’s follow the path of Jesus,

Which He hath giv’n to us;

Unto the good and resting place,

In the house of but God.
