DO GOOD.

By E. L. Sands

Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily, thou shalt be fed. Ps. 37:3.

Bind up the broken heart, Cement it with the blood That from Mount Calvary flowed; ’Twill soothe the smart, Inflicted by the dart, That Satan hurled. “What’e’er thou find to do, Perform it with thy might;” Strike boldly for the right, Thy work will soon be o’er, We’re nearing the bright shore, Where palms of victory wave, In triumph for the brave, Who face a frowning world.

Christian, “do good,” Where’er thy lot is cast; The cold and wintry blast, That sweeps across the way, That leads to endless day, Will soon be o’er.

Work while ’tis called to-day; Bring sinners home to rest, With the redeemed and blest; A gem shall deck thy crown, Thou wilt be pleased to own, For the reward is given, Bright as “the stars” of Heaven, That fade no more.

E. L. Sands.
