LONGINGS FOR DAY.

By J. M. Hopkins

J. M. HOPKINS.

“Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” Gal. 6:7.

Transgression brings its sure reward Of grief and sorrow, pain and woe, Both to ourselves and friends around: We always reap just what we sow.

Look o’er the earth to-day, and see In every phase of human life, In every clime, on land and sea, The world with misery is rife.

Six thousand years the tale has told Of what transgression brings to men, Until the earth, by sin grown old, Sighs for the reign of peace again.

Then hasten on, O glorious day, When sin and death shall be no more, When God’s blest law all worlds shall sway From pole to pole, from shore to shore.
