Life of Mrs. Sarah Norton

Excerpt from Life of Mrs. Sarah Norton: An Illustration of Practical Piety Earth is not our home. We are journeying to a land of angels. The Christian will soon be there. How blest that country! how charming its inhabitants! Could we unveil their glories, our pilgrimage would lose its sorrows in the blooming prospect, and our weary feet flame with ardor to scale the heights before us. "That holy world is ever bright With a pure radiance all its own; And streams of uncreated light Flow round it from the eternal throne. There forms that mortals may not see, Too glorious for the eye to trace, And clad in peerless majesty, Move with unutterable grace."
