The Morn Approaching.

By L. E. M.

GLOOMY, and dark, and long, the night has been, and tears, and sighs, and groans, have been our portion here; but glory to the Lamb that was slain, the bright eternal morn appears. Already its bright beams are seen in the distant horizon.

Mourning pilgrims lift your heads. Banish sorrow and sighing. Lift your heads and rejoice. Soon will you see the King in his beauty, with all the shining angel hosts attending.

The trumpet of God shall sound, and the long-promised Redeemer shall come. Our salvation is drawing nearer. Weary pilgrims, up and adorn thee. Bridal robes are awaiting thee. Come, for all things are ready, the feast is preparing. Come, and welcome, without money and without price, is the gracious invitation. L. E. M.
