MUSINGS WHILE ALONE.

By L. A. Ballou

Jesus, thou lover of my soul, Cleanse me from sin and make me whole; Free me from all my doubts and fears; Cheer my heart and dry my tears.
Help me to say thy will be done, Help me with faith my race to run, Let not temptation me ensnare, And ne’er forget my humble prayer.
O Father, give me strength to bear My share of toil, my share of care. Help me to lead some erring one To put his trust in thy dear Son.
And when the last great trump shall sound, To wake the nations under ground, In clouds thy Son will then appear And wipe away the mourner’s tear.
The New Jerusalem, we’re told, Will then descend with streets of gold. No earthly tongue can now explain That home where all is free from pain.
O may we walk the plains of light, Attired in robes of spotless white. Palms of victory we shall bear, And songs of praise will fill the air.
In that bright home where all is pure, The happy souls from sin secure Shall know no more of death or pain, When Jesus comes on earth to reign.
L. A. BALLOU.
