1. 173 - THAT BLEST ABODE 1. Ah, that blest abode above
who shall pass its portals?
Who at length in peace and love
dwell with the immortals?
They who battle for the right
when the day is longest
They who conquer in the fight
when the foe is strongest
2. Who shall nearest to the throne
have a place appointed?
Who have greatest favour shown
by the Lord's anointed
They who serve Him gladly now
King and Captain royal
Ever mindful of their vow, noble, steadfast, loyal

2. 173 - THAT BLEST ABODE 3. Ah, the bliss of heav'ns abode,
rise, my soul to win it
Shrink not from the weary road, but in faith begin it
List'n not to the call of sense, earth is vain and lying
Yonder is thy recompense
'Mid a bliss undying (3x)
