And then we shall be at the top of the steps waiting to be let through that golden door into our glorious and beautiful inheritance. The City Bright THERE is a city bright; Closed are its gates to sin; Nought that defileth, Nought that defileth Can ever enter in. Saviour, I come to Thee; O Lamb of God, I pray, Cleanse me and save me, Cleanse me and save me, Wash all my sins away. Lord, make me, from this hour, Thy loving child to be, Kept by Thy power, Kept by Thy power From all that grieveth Thee,— Till in the snow-white dress Of Thy redeemed I stand, Faultless and stainless, Faultless and stainless, Safe in that happy land.
