LOOKING FOR THE LORD.

By Josiah Collier

[BRO. SMITH: The following beautiful lines are from Little's Living Age. JOSIAH COLLIER.]
Could Christians watch ten thousand years Before their Lord himself appears, Yet as he then shall come at last, 'T were wise through all such ages past, T'have watched and waited, and have borne The scoffer's jest, the worldling's scorn. But those who watch not in the day, Will surely sleep the night away.
Lord, make me at all hours awake, And self denied, thy cross to take; Robed for thy nuptial feast in white, With lamp in hand, and burning bright; Nor lack of precious oil be mine, When the loud cry, “Arise and shine!” Proclaims the Lamb in bridal state, And when preparing is too late.
