HERE AND THERE.

By C. E. Chipman

Here, we in a world of sin, Strive eternal life to win; There, with eye of faith behold Floods of righteousness untold.

Here, we seek the narrow road Which will lead us on to God; There, we'll tread those streets so bright, Clothed in robes of spotless white.

Here, we shed the scalding tear, O'er the grave, and on the bier; There, we meet, our sorrowings o'er, Those we part with nevermore.

Here, we combat Satan's wiles, Which each earthly thought beguiles; There, we triumph over guilt, Through the blood on Calvary spilt.

Here, sojourners poor we roam, And have no continuing home; There, a heritage we claim Through the Lamb for sinners slain.

Here we hunger, here we thirst, In a world by misery cursed; There, supplied in every want, By life's healing tree and fount.

Here, our feeble songs we raise, To our great Redeemer's praise; There, in anthems loud we'll sing, Hallelujahs to our King.

C. E. CHIPMAN.
