DUTIES

By Mrs. M. F. Gould

'Tis good to do the Master's will, Though tears and sighs our lives may fill; No work or word of love is lost When given standing at our post.
Duty compels us oft to tread Upon the thorn and brier's bed; But weak and weary, torn and sad, One smile from Jesus makes us glad.
No fear of foe, no dread of care, Can make us cease the cross to bear; For soon in realms of bliss we'll be, From every mortal care set free.
How can we falter by the way? What answer can we give, oh, pray? When such a sacrifice was given, To purchase us a home in Heaven.
O Christian, think no more thy lot Is hard to bear; thou hast forgot Thy Saviour's care, thy hopes most dear Of Heaven, our home which is so near.
MRS. M. F. GOULD.
