THE CHRISTIANS REST.


Passing through tn world of sorrow.
Where the weary soul seeks rest;
Looming IN the distant morrow
we behold world that's blest.
Life is short and we look forward,
Just a little while and see
Through the somoer clouds that shroud lis
Where the soul from sin is free.
When we see that happy mansion,
Where the saints in z ory shine,
Brighter than the stars of heaven,
Clad In robes almost divine-
How the soul in earnest lopgings.
Gszes on her heavenly home,
Decked IN beauties gay surroundings,
Never more from Christ to Ioam.
Here we feel the pangs of sorrow,
heenest anguish pains our breast,
Ills we feel and ill, we borrow,
That disturb our quiet rest.
Kindred spirits dear unto us
OFT are quickly snstched away,
And our bleeding hearts distress US,
W bile we view their iieless clay.
But the wounded spirits brighten.
When we think of that bright home
where no death nor sorrow enters,
And where grief Is quite unknown.
Bliss that earthly saints have never
Drank while wand'rng here below,
They in heaven will drink forever
Where the nectar bowls DER flow.
Trbuations here befall u.s.
But in Jusus there i. peace;
Let us take our trials to him.
lie Will make them all to cease
If our tired feet shall nger,
And our faltring steps be slow,
Let us cast look to Jesus,
lie will hei us as go. T.. A. NJ.
