If this earthly tent dissolves, God grants a new home -
We'll be clothed with an heavenly! For this we groan!
We've the Spirit as a pledge; by faith we're assured:
We'll be in the body or present with the Lord!
We long for the latter, but right now work, as meet,
For we must all appear before Christ's judgement seat.
Thus we evangelize - may you be proud of us -
We work for you, constrained by the love of Jesus,
Who died for all, that we live for, not self, but Him,
New creatures, both reconciled, and reconciling
To God; Christ's ambassadors, pleading as God would,
Who made the Good One sin, so sinners be made good!
