THE HIGHER LIFE.

By L. D. W.

WE speak of the soul that has freedom within; Of hopes untarnished by pain; We speak of a land where there's nevermore sin, A home which the humblest may gain.

We speak of a faith that is leading the way From earth to mansions above; And we joy in the hope of that endless day, That comes with the blessings of love.

We speak of a life that is hidden in Him; Of peace as a river that flows. We speak of the light that will never grow dim, Of the grace which masters our foes.

Our Lord's life the pattern is, life without sin, Triumphant o'er death and the grave; From every temptation without and within His strong arm is able to save.

Dear Lord, we will trust Thee forever, amen, And wait Thy sweet presence to come. We will sing to Thy praise, for Thy promise to men Of a sinless, a heavenly home. L. D. W.
