“HEAVEN is open every day;
In night also
He that would wend his upward way
May surely go.
There is no wall to that demesne
Where God resides; nor any screen
To hide the glories of that scene,-
If man will know.
The ladder which the Hebrew saw
Whenas he slept,
From earth God never doth updraw,
But still hath kept;
And angels ever to and fro
On errands swiftly glide and glow,-
For love above, for love below,
Its rounds have stept.
Thereon the saint doth daily mount
Above the stars,
Caring nowhit to take account
Of earthly bars;
Since well ‘t is known to such as he
There are no guards but pass him free;
He hath the watchword and the key,
In peace, or wars.
(Charles Goodrich Whiting)”
