COMPENSATION.

By Max Hill

ONE moment in the kingdom, The first that I shall know, Will pay for all the trials That I have known below, Will pay for all the heartaches And disappointments sore, For tears and pain and sorrow Will fill the heart no more.
One burst of heavenly music From that unnumbered throng, The far-surpassing sweetness Of that angelic song, Transcending any music This sin-cursed earth can know, Will fill the heart with rapture Unknown to man below.
The flowers I shall gather In field and garden there Excel in fragrant beauty Earth's flowers howe'er rare. There I shall pluck fair roses, And lilies sweet and pure, Whose perfume-laden petals Unfading shall endure.
And friends who there shall greet me Thruout eternal years, Forever true and loyal, Shall never part in tears. No good-by shall be spoken, For age on age we'll meet Each new moon and each Sabbath, To bow at Jesus' feet.
The One of all most precious Whose praise the saints shall sing Thruout eternal ages,— My Saviour and my King. When I shall look upon Him Who for my ransom died, My cup of joy o'erflowing, I shall be satisfied. MAX HILL.
