Title:     Hymn 1:105 [Nor Eye Has Seen, Nor Ear Has Heard]
Author: Isaac Watts [More Titles by Watts]

Heaven invisible and holy, 1 Cor. 2. 9 10. Rev. 21. 27.

Nor eye has seen, nor ear has heard,
Nor sense nor reason known
What joys the Father hath prepar'd
For those that love the Son.

But the good Spirit of the Lord
Reveals a heaven to come:
The beams of glory in his word
Allure and guide us home.

Pure are the joys above the sky,
And all the region peace;
No wanton lips, nor envious eye
Can see or taste the bliss.

Those holy gates for ever bar
Pollution, sin, and shame;
None shall obtain admittance there
But followers of the Lamb.

He keeps the Father's book of life,
There all their names are found;
The hypocrite in vain shall strive
To tread the heavenly ground.

[The end]
Isaac Watts's poem: Hymn 1:105 [Nor Eye Has Seen, Nor Ear Has Heard]
