BE OF GOOD CHEER.

By Mary Bradford

Christian pilgrims, Oh! look upward, Jesus calls us to rejoice. Time draws nigh for our redemption, Soon we'll hear our Saviour's voice Saying, Loved ones, come up hither, From this world of pain and woe; Come and reign with me forever: Christian pilgrims, onward go.
Onward, upward, let us hasten; Faint not! we shall soon receive Palms of victory, crowns of glory, Harps of gold with perfect peace. Christians, on! with heads uplifted, Fear not troubles, pain, or strife, Fear no sorrow; if we faint not We shall reap eternal life.
O be cheerful, O be prayerful, Watch the coming of the Lord; For we see the signs fulfilling Spoken in his holy word. For the Lord shall roar from Zion, And the heavens and earth shall shake. Soon will come the King of Heaven, And his saints to glory take.
Help us, Lord, while now preparing For that great and trying hour, May our lamps be bright and shining, Waiting, watching unto prayer, Oh! that happy, happy meeting, When the Lord receives his guests, Oh! shall I receive the greeting, And with him forever rest?
MARY BRADFORD.
