Love and Hope

By L. D. SANTEE

L. D. SANTEE
The love of my Saviour prevents me From sharing the sins of the world; But a glorious prospect contents me, Where the banners of peace are unfurled.
For my heaviest loss it requites me, That prospect of heaven and home. From the cross, ’tis the crown that invites me, To be given when Jesus shall come.
O that “home of the soul”! with emotion I dream of its bright jasper walls, With a loving and loyal devotion, Of the Saviour who patiently calls.
And now, in my chamber, while kneeling, What hopes are enshrined in my heart; What visions of beauty are stealing, Of the country where friends never part!
I’m free from the world, I can never Engage in its sin and its wrong; For Christ has redeemed me forever, His love is the theme of my song.
Moline, Ill.
