FREED FROM SIN.

By P. ALDERMAN

DELIGHTFUL thought that I shall be From sin’s dominion ever free. No enemy to vex my soul, But love alone hold sweet control.

Oh! can my guilt be all forgiven? And I so vile obtain that Heaven? Fain would I then this world despise, And heavenward turn my longing eyes.

Let no vain dream allure my mind, Nor let me seek on earth to find The joys that only wait above, The purchase of a Saviour’s love.

Dear Saviour, how I long to see The wounded hands that bled for me, And join with all the ransomed throng To praise thee in an endless song!

'Tis sweet to serve while here we wait. We soon shall reach Heaven’s pearly gate. Oh! precious hours! Oh! time to fleet! Make me for heavenly glories meet.

P. ALDERMAN.
