Resurrection

By MRS. MARY WILLIAMS

MRS. MARY WILLIAMS
“I will come again.” John 14: 3.
BEHOLD, the morning cometh, So much, so long desired, Predicted on the sacred page, By holy men inspired; When o’er this re-created realm One King shall reign alone, While nations lay their offerings down Before his glorious throne.
O morn of all glad morns the best, What mind can e’er portray The scenes, majestic and sublime, Of that auspicious day When, robed in immortality, Enraptured eyes behold The faces of the loved and lost— Long cherished friends of old.
No treacherous foe shall enter there, No vile usurper reign, When earth in Eden’s beauty clad Shall Eden’s bliss regain. Thrice glorious transformation then, End of all mortal woe; Reunion of the tender ties Long severed here below.
Behold, the morning hasteth on With purest bliss replete, When mercy, peace, and righteousness In glad embrace shall meet. Man in his Maker’s image formed, To perfect life restored, Shall join redemption’s matchless theme Of praise to Christ the Lord.
Troy, N. Y.
