THE SONG OF TRIUMPH.

By N. P. Nielson

BY N. P. NIELSON.
LONG and cruel has been the reign of sin; terrible have been the results that have followed in its wake; oft have the righteous been oppressed; fierce have been their conflicts with the wily foe; but a day of deliverance is coming. The oppressed will be delivered from the oppressors, and be ransomed from the grave. Then a song of triumph, "such as ne'er was heard before," will burst forth from the ransomed throng as they enter the city of God and are forever delivered from the hand of oppression, forever delivered from the power of the grave. Grand indeed will be this mighty chorus, pealing forth from the unnumbered throng! The prophet describes this song as "the voice of many waters." Standing on the shore of the broad Pacific and hearing the almost deafening, yet musical, sound of those mighty waves rolling in upon the rocky shore, I could realize something of the meaning of the prophet's words.
The melody of that mighty chorus will be sweeter than that of any music earth has ever heard! We must be there to unite our voices with this victorious and gladsome band! But if we would join in singing this song of triumph, we must have our part in the triumph over sin. We must cease our murmuring and complaining here, and begin to sing the song of victory now—some strains of that song from the better shore—and soon we will be permitted to sing the everlasting song of triumph before the throne of God.
