By L. D. SANTEE

L. D. SANTEE
WHILE men are rushing onward in their greed for gain or glory, Unheeding all the gathering signs that thicken day by day, The faithful heralds of the cross proclaim the wondrous story Of the gospel of the kingdom and the life that lasts for aye.
A little while we wander in the desert lone and dreary, And bear the heavy burdens till the day of glad release, Then we’ll join the throng triumphant in the land where none are weary, Where wars are all forgotten in a land of perfect peace.
We’ll clasp the glad extended hand of sister and of brother, And join the halleluiahs that the host redeemed shall sing, We’ll enjoy our Saviour’s presence from “one Sabbath to another,” And worship him who ransomed us — Redeemer, Priest, and King.
Moline, Ill.
