Love and Hope

By L. D. SANTEE

L. D. SANTEE
The losing and the leaving Will soon for aye be past, The sorrow and the grieving Forgotten be at last. In place of disappointment, Is heaven’s dearest boon; Eternal life awaits us, The Lord is coming soon.
Hours spent in useless fretting Increase our ills the more, Our fainting hearts forgetting That heaven is just before; We’ll bid adieu to sadness, To weariness and gloom, And sing with untold gladness, “The Lord is coming soon.”
Cheer up, O heavy-hearted! Thy King shall come for thee; Dear ones from whom you’ve parted, In glory you shall see. The desert is behind you, And flowers of life shall bloom; Not long will earth-ties bind you, The Lord is coming soon.
Moline, Ill.
