Fear Not

By L. D. SANTEE

L. D. SANTEE
FEAR not! a loving hand points out the way That guides His children to the shores of heaven, Through earthly shadows to eternal day, Where skies are bright, and starry crowns are given,— Into the port where sorrows all will cease, Where waves are still, and tempests come no more,— Into the haven of eternal peace, The blessed, bright, and everlasting shore.
Fear not! for safe within the quiet bay The voyage ends, the storms of life are done; And flowers bloom, and crystal fountains play, Beneath the light of heaven's glorious sun; Bright angels welcome to life's golden sands The hosts redeemed, the everlasting throng; And now, at home in heaven's immortal land, Their songs of gladness will be sweet and long.
Fear not! for those we lost so long ago Rise from their beds when Christ the Lord shall call, And far removed from earthly sin and woe Enter that land where glory covers all; Summers unnumbered weave their crown of flowers, And sweet birds sing where tear-drops never fall, And glory gilds with joy the passing hours, While God's dear benison is over all.
Fear not! eternal hands are guiding thee Into the haven of the port of peace. Within that haven will the soul be free, And the heart glory in its glad release. Toil bravely on, O voyager o'er life's deep! A calm will follow when earth's storms are past; Thy God still loves thee, and his power will keep Till thou shalt enter his bright home at last.
Moline, Ill.
