Endure the Journey, not mistake our Home.
What here we reap is for Refreshment giv'n;
Convenient Stages in our Way to Heav'n:
What Taste of Happiness we find below,
Must from Religion's sacred Fountain flow;
When gentle Passions move obedient still,
And Reason rules, and Wisdom guides the Will.

This Soul-felt calm can ev'ry Ill remove,
And gives an Earnest of the Joys above,
Draws the bright Scene, unfolds the Gates of Bliss,
A Life celestial, and begun in this.
