- C.S. Lewis
Whom have I in heaven but You?
And besides You, I desire nothing on earth.
My flesh and my heart fail,
But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
For, behold, those who are far from You will perish;
You have destroyed all those who are unfaithful to You.
But as me, the nearness of God is my good;
I have made the Lord God my refuge,
That I may tell of all Your works.
Earth holds no treasures
But perish with using,
However precious they be;
Yet there’s a country
To which I am going:
Heaven holds all to me.
Why should I long
For the world with its sorrows,
When in that home o’er the sea,
Millions are singing
The wonderful story?
Heaven holds all to me.
Heaven holds all to me,...
Brighter its glory will be;
Joy without measure
Will be my treasure:
Heaven holds all to me.
Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face,
And the things of earth
Will grow strangely dim
In the light of His glory and grace.
Look full in His wonderful face,
And the things of earth
Will grow strangely dim
In the light of His glory and grace.
