OVER THERE.

By N. ORCUTT.

To toil for the Saviour is sweet, All his trials and sorrows to share, If with him at last we may meet, And his praises recount over there.
Though thorny the path that we tread, Though here scorn and derision we bear, Think that thorns once encircled his head, And of reigning with him over there.
Let others, deceived by the foe, Upon earth seek a home to prepare. Pain mingles with pleasure below; But not so in our home over there.
Over there, is no sorrow or pain, Over there, all is joyous and fair. Our loss over there will be gain, All is peace in our home over there.
Oh! give me a home with the blest, Where, released from all sorrow and care, The weary are ever at rest, On the evergreen shore—over there. N. ORCUTT.
