HYMN OF PRAISE.

By L. E. Miller

“Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name. Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.” Ps. xxix. 2.

GLORY, glory to our Father; Glory to our Saviour, king, For this full and free salvation, Make the heavenly arches ring. Let us all with hearts and voices Sing of Jesus’ boundless love; Praise his blessed name forever For our home prepared above.

Soon will burst upon our vision Scenes of wondrous beauty there; Soon will end this night of sorrow, Soon we’ll reach the haven fair. Oh! to dwell among the blessed In that home of joy and light, Come and take me, blessed Saviour, I would dwell, Lord, in thy sight.

Oh! I’m weary here of sighing, Weary of earth’s toil and pain,— I would see those sparkling mansions, With my Saviour I would reign. Tell me not of earth’s vain pleasures,— They have lost all charms for me; Sing to me of Heaven, sweet Heaven, Where I soon shall Jesus see.

Let me hear of my Beloved, Talk of his dear charms to me; Oh! it fills my heart with rapture When they sing, dear Lord, of thee. Long and dark the night is passing, Soon the morning bright will come That shall end our toilsome journey; Soon we’ll rest with Christ at home.
