Almost Here

By L. D. Santee

L. D. SANTEE
LIFE’S glad morning is almost here; Sweet is the news of the Saviour near. Though shadows darken and round us fall, Christ has been tempted, and knoweth all. In redemption’s story we act a part; And he takes us close to his pitying heart. Pray, and that heart will hear your call, And guarded by him, you will never fall.
Life’s fair morning is almost here, And we’ll reach the end of the desert drear; The pearly gates will their joys unfold, And the children walk on the streets of gold. Love’s sweet music will then be heard, With the gladness of heaven each heart be stirred. We’ll be taken away from earth’s toil and strife, And will sweetly rest in the land of life.
Life’s fair morning is almost here; Christ and the angels are drawing near, Coming to take the children home, Coming to say to the blessed, “Come.” Hopes long cherished will then come true, When Jesus the Saviour comes for you. Then we’ll forget the lonely years, The days of trouble, the nights of tears.
Life’s fair morning is almost here; In the gold and crimson will Christ appear. Dreams, long cherished bring endless joy, Bliss eternal, without alloy. Though he may tarry, the morn will break. Carry your burdens for his dear sake; Pray, and the Saviour will hear your call; Guarded by him, you will never fall.
Moline, Ill.
