HAST THOU GLEANED TO-DAY?

By Dr. C. R. Blackall

The shadows are falling, Swift closeth the day, I hear a voice calling, It seemeth to say: Oh, soul! hast thou gleaned well to-day? In the world's harvest field, With its full precious yield, Has it vainly appealed, Oh, soul! hast thou gleaned well to-day?
The day is departing, The darkness is here; Ah! why am I starting, While heart beats with fear, Soul! hast thou gleaned well to-day? In the world's busy throng, Hast thou failed to be strong, Weakly yielding to wrong, Oh! hast thou not gleaned to-day?
The light is appearing, The darkness is gone, For Jesus is nearing, And tender his tone; Oh, soul! in my might glean each day! When the harvest is o'er Shall be joy evermore, If the sheaves at thy door Shall say, thou hast well filled thy day? —Dr. C. R. Blackall.
