THE BLESSED CHANGE.

Once I was blind; no cheering ray Brought light or comfort unto me, Till Jesus met me in the way, Touched my dimmed eyes—and now I see.
Once I was poor; an outcast driven, In want and wretchedness; but now, Joint-heir with Christ of earth and heaven, A glorious crown awaits my brow.
Once, in vile rags, forlorn and bare, I walked, nor cared for better dress; Now, rich and costly robes I wear, Clothed in my Saviour's righteousness.
Once, fainting on life's weary road, I toiled, hope, strength and courage gone; Now Jesus takes my weighty load, And I with lightened heart speed on.
Once, all my days were sad and cold, The night hours knew my moaning voice; Now, day and night with joy untold, And full of glory, I rejoice. —New York Observer.
