THE SAINTS' HOME.

By L. D. SANTEE

“For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.” Hab. ii, 14.
As here I muse in this dark world of sadness, Where every evil reigns, My thoughts go forward with increasing gladness, To Canaan's happy plains.
The voice of nature there will rise in music, To God and to the Lamb, And there will wave in all their Eden beauty, The fig-tree and the palm.
There the new earth is filled with peace and glory, As waters fill the sea; And there is He who calmed, in sacred story, The storm on Galilee.
And the great city, ne'er with evil tarnished, Contains Jehovah's throne, Gold are its streets, and lo, its walls are garnished, With many a precious stone.
Haste, dearest Lord, the time of thy possession, I fain would join the blest; I'm weary of the warfare with transgression, I long to be at rest.
But hush my heart, hush all thy restless fearing, Thy work will soon be done, For Jesus, the chief shepherd, soon appearing, Will take his people home.
L. D SANTEE. McLean Co., Ill.
