JST equates Kolob with "God's home".
John S. Tanner, "Blessings Upon Our Heads," Ensign, February 2004, 19–20
Studying the Lyrics
Another way to love the hymns is to talk about the lyrics. I like to call attention to rhymes and wordplays, such as in the concluding line of “Because I Have Been Given Much”: “thus shall my thanks be thanks indeed” (in deed). I like to explain archaic phrases, such as “in the sultry glebe” (in the sweltering field), “hie to Kolob” (hasten to God’s home), or “without a city wall” (outside a city wall).
