A Guest In Heaven’s Rest

In earthly house I am a passing guest,
     Will here know heaven’s rest
     When Holy Spirit breathes
New life from Father through His Son conceived
In Mary’s womb; His human nature formed
Gives us His life when we’re with Jesus born.

With Him I journey on my pilgrim way
     And hear Him to me say,
    “No longer need you fear
All things and people that bring human tears,
For I’ve defeated him who causes all
Your fear in human life since Adam’s fall.”

No longer should we here heed Satan’s lie
     And live in his pig stye,
     For his tongue has been pierced
By Jesus’ Cross as Michael’s sword is fierce,
And Satan who is master of deceit
To hell is cast and his defeat complete.
