Shall I be There?

By L. E. MILLNE

SHALL I meet thee, blessed Saviour, On fair Beulah’s plains of light? Shall I range those fields of pleasure, Filled with love and sweet delight?
Shall I gain a blessed mansion, In the city of our King, Where is known no shade of sorrow, With the ransomed shall I sing?
Shall I stand complete in Jesus, Chiefest ’mong ten thousand fair, Clothed in garments pure and spotless, Shall I join the angel choir?
Tell me, O my Saviour, tell me, Is my name engraven there? Is my name, though poor, unworthy, ’Mong the blest in Eden fair?
Oh the bliss, the joy and rapture, That awaits the pilgrim band, Who through faith are overcomers, When in Heaven they victors stand!
O ye weary, wayworn pilgrims, Soon we’ll bid farewell to pain, Soon we’ll raise the song of triumph, Canaan’s heights we soon shall gain.
Cease my soul, thy sad complaining, Cheerful bear your trials here. Though the wicked now are scoffing, Soon their hate will turn to fear.
On, just yonder, Heaven’s portals, Shine with luster pure and bright; And our Saviour, soon returning, Scatters all the shades of night.
L. E. MILLNE. Shabbona, Ill.
