LOOK UP.

By R. C. Baker

Dwell not on memory's tear-stained pages, Her blotted scroll thou may'st forget, Look forward to the eternal ages, Where hope's bright sun will never set.
Look through the mists that shroud the present, Up where the sky is ever clear, Faith with a telescopic vision, Can bring the eternal glories near.
Faint, weary souls, oh! look not earthward, For all is darkness here and gloom, But just beyond the cloud is glory, Beauty and joy and deathless bloom.
Drink from that fount of living sweetness, The love of Jesus full and free, He who now bears our griefs and sorrows Will soon be ours eternally.
Oh! can these hearts by sin polluted, Be made so pure and free from sin, That He to those eternal mansions, Will gladly bid us welcome in?
Yes; praise his holy name forever, He lives to save us by his blood, And we shall tread the courts of glory, In the bright city of our God.
R. C. BAKER.
