I heard an angels silvery voice. and radiance hed
my room.
A gentle touch awakened me; gentle whisper
Arise, o sleeper. follow me-; and through the air
We left the earth so far away that like speck ii
And heavenly glory, calm and pure. across our
pathway streamed.

The glory Of the Lord was there, the Lamb himself
Bright angels paced the shining streets, sweet
And white-robed saints with gli,tcring crowns
from every CLINE were there:
"Al worthy is the Lamb" they sang. 'thc glory

But fairer far than all besides saw my saviour's
And as gazed He smiled me with wondrous

Had gained the object OF my hopes; that earth at

And then, in solemn tones. He said where is the

And help to lead weary soul to seek home

And now while the earth l stay my motto this

And craven on my Utmost soul I'll wear this truth
divine.
They that turn many to the Lord bright as the
stars shall shine"
