One unmingled scene of  happiness and pleasure
"In My Father's house are many mansions; 
if it were not so, I would have told you. I 
go to prepare a place for you." John 14:2

O that we could lift our eyes to those blessed 
abodes—those mansions of heavenly bliss— 
where no sorrow intrudes, 
where sin is unknown, 
where tears are wiped from off all faces, 
where there is . . .
no languishing body,
no wasting sickness,
no pining soul,
no doubt, 
no fear, 
no darkness,
no distress— 
but one unmingled scene of happiness and 
pleasure—and the whole soul and body are 
engaged in singing the praises of the Lamb! 

And what crowns the whole—there is the 
eternal enjoyment of those pleasures which 
are at the right hand of God for-evermore! 

But how lost are we in the contemplation of 
these things—and though our imagination may 
seem to stretch itself beyond the utmost 
conception of the mind, into the countless 
ages of a never-ending eternity, yet are we 
baffled with the thought—though faith 
embraces the blessed truth. 

But in that happy land, the immortal soul and 
the immortal body will combine their powers 
and faculties to enjoy to the uttermost all 
that God has prepared for those who love Him.
