The Call

By Edw. J. Urquhart

EDW. J. URQUHART
As Abram lived from year to year (Though time bent low his form), He grasped by faith the living Word Through sunshine and through storm; And, dying, looked beyond the grave— He dreaded not its frown, For by his faith he saw afar And grasped the victor’s crown.
And that same God whom Abraham Served with a tenth of all Bids other sons leave friends and home— O listen to the call!— To dwell in distant lands, as he, Or die as God sees best; For, if we do the task he gives, The sooner is the rest.
And thou, with loved ones thus laid low While fighting for the Lord, Seek comfort in God’s promises, And grasp the living Word. For he whose word upholdeth worlds Will let no trials come But such as help to lead us on To God, to Christ, and home.
Fernie, British Columbia.
