LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE.
BY REV. GEO. A. LOTION. D. d.

The beauty of life in the glow Of hi
word;
For Jesus is Light that the life onl
shows.
The Spirit within, that the world neye
knows;
For sinners the gospel alone will receive
Illumined by light from those VIII,
believe.
This world is all dark, and the sinner i
blind,
Nor can he the way by himself ever find
For Christians are lamps on the broaC
way of gloom,
The sinner to turn from his ill-fatec
doom;
The light of the Christian, with his
magical word,
The spirit applies as the fame of hi,
sword.
But few can discover the beauty of grace
Who trace not its lines in the heaven-lit
face;
The child of the night never knows Of
the day,
Except by the star with its sun-fooded
ray;
And few that immortal who shine in
the skies,
But lighted their torch in the lamp of
the wise.
Arise, then, ye Christians, and shine
with your light,
The way is rugged-so darkning the
night!
For thousands are stumbling DER virgins
asleep,
Unlighted their lamps, to the bottomless
deep;
And many the faces no signal hath
given,
To light wrecked world to the haven
of heaven.
o, shine with you light, that the world
ling may spy,
Your works that are good, and your
God glorify!
Nor hide the bright lamp that lusrtious
should burn,
To cheer the faint heart, or the sinner
to turn:
Extinguish it not, by your lives or your
lips,
For blacklist of darkness is Christians
eclipse.
0, character sacred! the banner unfurled!
The robe of the Savior, the Light of the
world!
The Christians example, his mightiest of
powers!
To lift US, when spotless, to heavenly
bowers! rfaIl,
But faded or blackened, by failure or
The shroud of the convert, the impeni-
tents pail,
Alas! for the salt when the SAVIOR is gone,
Though Christ and the Christian shall
ever be onei [shine,
Alas! for the light when it ceases TO
Though grace from the Christian will
never decline!
But Devils will mock us, and worldings
blaspheme, deem.
And trample our efforts the world to re-
The soul of the Christian no death ever
knows,
The dust Of his body reanimate grows;
But thoughts are eternal, whatever they
have breathed,
Our deeds are undying, with good Or i'll
wreathed;
And character parted no time can restore,
Nor heaven reverse 1.-THE record we
bore!
The wise are to shine as the armament
bright;
And they that the many have turned by
their light,
"For ever and ever" as the stars, shall
they glow below !;
With jewels of glory they've gathered
And high on his sforehead, with clus-
tering gem, Tdem.
Their treasures will circle the Kings dia-
Then w0lk in the light with the gar
ments of day, [fray
And arm with the light for the direst af-
For Satan with light as an angel is garbed.
To pierce with the arrows our failures
have barbed; Tdark,
And Evil and Error, and Death in the
Are strung with the trophies of Satan's
sac work.
OH why should we falter, if robed ir
the light right
When panoplied strong in the armor oi
When one can a Thousand with .righte
BUSINESS chase,
And few put to fight, with the light o.
their face, [dawn
The hosts of henight-like the sun at the
When darkness retreats at the glow O
the morn?
Immanuels our Captain and triumph i
sure, [pure
When Zion is clothed in habiliment
He spoiled the black Prince as he ros
from the dead, dread
And broke on the tomb his scepter 6,
And high Ger the ages his banner vii
wave,
Till earth to his glory his power shal
save.
