419. 8s. & 7s. M. J. G. Adams. Heaven Here. 1 Heaven is here; its hymns of gladness Cheer the true believer's way, In this world where sin and sadness Often change to night our day. 2 Heaven is here; where misery lightened Of its heavy load is seen, Where the face of sorrow brightened By the deed of love hath been: 3 Where the bound, the poor, despairing Are set free, supplied and blest; Where, in others' anguish sharing, We can find our surest rest. 4 Where we heed the voice of duty Rather than man's praise, or rod; This is heaven, -- its peace, its beauty, Radiant with the smile of God.
