THE CHRISTIAN MARINER.

By L. D. SANTER.

Behold the dauntless mariner upon the sea of life! He battles with the elements amid the angry strife. When foes with hate surround him, and envy’s surges roar, Hope like the faithful compass, points him to Canaan’s shore.
He’s out upon the ocean waste, the waves run mountain high, But his Leader’s gone before him and beckons to the sky. His eye with holy radiance glows, his bosom has no fears, As o’er the pathless ocean wide his way to Heaven he steers.
He’ll enter soon the better land, he hails the dawning light, His hope is anchored in the vail, where hope is lost in sight. Farewell to storm and tempest now, farewell to woe and sin, The haven now he can descry, and soon he’ll enter in.
L. D. SANTER.
