" Upward where the sky is brightest,
Upward where the blue is lightest,
Now has gone his longing soul.
Far above that arch of gladness,
Far beyond these clouds of sadness,
Are the many mansions fair.
Far from warring and suffering
In the palace of the king,
He has found a mansion there !
Where the glory brightly dwelleth,
Where the new song sweetly swelleth,
And the discord never comes ;
Where life's stream is ever laving,
And the palm is ever waving ;
He has found the home of homes."
