The Mountains of Life.
There's land far away, mid the sta we are
told,
Where they know not the sorrows of time;
W here the pure waters wander thru valleys of
gold,
And life is treasurer sublime
'Tis the land of our God, tits the home of the
soul,
Where the ages of splendor eternally roll;
Where the way-weary traveller reaches his
goal,
On the evergreen Mountains of Life
Dur gaze cannot soar to that beautiful land,
But our visions have told Of its bliss;
And our souls by the gale its gardens are
famed,
When faint in the desert OF this
Ind We sometimes have lopged for Its holy re-.
pose,
When our spirits were torn with temptations
and woes;
And we've drank from the tide of the river
that flows.
From the evergreen Mountains Of Life.
)h. the stars never trod the blue heavens at
night,
But We think where the ransomed have trod;
md the day never smiles from his place of
light,
But we feel the bright smile Of our God
We are travelling homews,d through changea-
And tgloomr-------
Toa kingdom where pleasures increasingly
bloom
