SANCTIFICATION.

By Mrs. Martha J. Gates

O, how my soul with rapture longs For those bright scenes above, When I shall stand on heavenly ground, And view the home I love!
Far, far beyond the shades of night Eternal glories rise; There everlasting joy abounds, And pleasure never dies.
To that bright world my soul aspires, Here would no longer stay; There peace and happiness are found In realms of endless day.
Eternal Father, may Thy love From Thy bright courts descend, And fill my soul with holy power, And joys that have no end.
MRS. MARTHA J. GATES. Willet, N. Y.
