BUY THE TRUTH.

Go, "buy the truth;" The price thou hast; the choice thine own; Yet richer jewel ne'er was known, Or purer gem. The truth our precious Saviour taught, With which his holy word is fraught, Which earthly treasure ne'er has bought, Or diadem.
Go, "buy the truth;" True holy peace 'twill bring to thee; From every fear 'twill set thee free, And give thee joy. Then go; its mantle round thee fold, More beautiful than sheen of gold; No more shall doubt, as oft of old, Thy peace destroy.
Go, "buy the truth;" Yes, buy; the price thy heart shall be. Thyself give up, and thou art free. And why delay? Since 'tis the selfish heart within Which leads us on, and makes us sin? Seek Christ the truth, and let him in, And bid him stay. —Sel.
