_“All Things New”_

“He that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new.” Rev. 21:5.
THE world is old with centuries, But not for these she bows her head; Close to her heart the sorrow lies — She holds so many dead!
Sad discords mingle in her song, Tears fall upon her with the dew, The whole creation groans; how long Ere all shall be made new?
Yet brightly on her smiles the sun, A bounteous heaven delights to bless; O, what shall be that fairer one Wherein dwells righteousness?
O happy world! O holy time! When wrong shall die, and strife shall cease, And all the bells of heaven chime With melodies of peace.
No place shall be in that new earth For all that blights this universe; No evil taint the second birth — “There shall be no more curse.” Ye broken-hearted, cease your moan, The day of promise dawns for you; For he that sits upon the throne Says, “I make all things new.”
