Looking for Christ

By L. D. Santee

L. D. SANTEE
My hope, my heart, my treasure, are in heaven, Whence Christ my Lord will come to claim his own. A crown of life will to the saints be given, A heavenly mansion in the Father's home.
The azure dome the Bridegroom is un- folding; Still months and years roll onward as before; And though I gaze with eager eyes be- holding, No tidings come from that far, shi- ning shore.
The fleecy clouds drift slow across the heavens, But in the blue I see no angel band; No vision to my longing soul is given, No scenes of brightness from the bet- ter land.
Tearful, I'm waiting for some glad re- vealing, When chains of earth no more shall bind me down, When Christ, the secret of the heavens unsealing, Will bring each waiting one a robe and crown.
His promise stands, his waiting church receives it,— The Lord will come in his appointed time! This blessed truth, if we will but be- lieve it, Lingers to cheer us like some sweet old rhyme.
