HEAVEN ANTICIPATED.

By L. E. Milne

The time is short! How sweet the thought—though weary, faint with toil, And tossing to and fro with earth’s turmoil— The end is near!
The years roll on, And soon, oh soon! the bright glad morn will come, When Christ shall call his faithful children home, To wear the crown.
Away with fear! Let worldlings scoff and turn with pride away, I’ll onward press; dear Lord, be thou my stay, Then I’ll not faint.
If God approve, Then I’ll rejoice. Though Satan’s hosts assail, Through Christ, my Lord and King, I shall prevail, And reign with Him.
Rejoice! rejoice! He comes and tarries not. Oh! sing for joy, Ye saints; let sweetest notes your tongues employ, And sound his praise!
Let faith grow strong! Those beauteous mansions will soon be mine; With the King in beauty I soon shall shine, And be at rest.
L. E. MILNE.
