Comfort and Rest

By E. May Barton

O WEARY, worn pilgrim, on life's rugged highway, So long you have wandered while seeking a goal Of glittering wealth, but there's many a byway,— Come, find a sure haven, the "home of the soul."
O man of the world, how'er sated with pleasure, Till nothing can satisfy, naught can bring rest; Of earth's vain allurements you've tried in full measure, Come, turn to the Scriptures, the hope of the blest.
O, wanderer, come, without Christ do not languish, Tho dark be the past, to His love all resign, Nor faint by the way with a heart full of anguish, But claim the sweet promise of Jesus as thine.
There's joy in believing the plan of salvation, There's comfort and rest in the thought of a home Where sin can not enter, where all occupation Is service of love for a Christ that is come. E. MAY BARTON.
