OUR LoWLY WORK NOT IN VAIN.

Sometime, when all our gathered sheayes
At Jesus feet,
The trials that beset us or the way,
The burdens we had carried all the day,
The noontide heat,
Will be forgotten; and the rest we sought
So sweet will be,
That we shall wonder how we ever thought
The labor hard, when in His name we
So 6tfully.
What if the seed be sown with binding
And our hearts rend
With the swift changing of our hopes to
Because aeAt Of the slow growth throughout
the years.
Of fields we tend;
We have His word that we shall reap
with Joy
Some happy day..
Then, when our courage fails and griefs
Let us be patient; bliss without alloy
Waits o'er the way.
Over each field of nodding golden grain
Changes have passed.;
The smiling sunshine and the chilling rain,
Twilight and dawn have come and gone
again,
From first to last.
So for the seed which we in weakness SOW;
God knoweth best
Whether dark clouds must cast their gloom
below,
Or whether in the sunshine it may grow
At His behest;
Our lowly work is but to scatter seed
With lavish hand,
Sending it broadcast wheresoe'er there's
need,
And full fruition will make glad indeed
The barren land.
Then when at %reaping-time we hear our
King
Bidding US come,
We shall respond with plenteous offering
Of ripened fruitage, as with Joy we sing
The Harvest Home.
