In the Morning.

By Matthew Baird

IN THE morning, in the morning, "when the mists have rolled away," When the sun in splendor shineth, bringing in the "perfect day," Then the children of the kingdom, with their palms and harps of gold, Will be gathered to the mansions, safely in the Master's fold.
They'll come marching, marching, marching, rising from their dusty beds, "Come with songs of joy and gladness everlasting on their heads," And the "sorrow and the sighing" with the mists shall flee away, When the King of Kings returneth, bringing in the perfect day.
Clothed in "garments of salvation" "unto Zion they'll return," And with Heavenly welcome enter nevermore to weep or mourn, And the praises of redemption they will shout for aye and aye, When the resurrection morning ushers in the perfect day.
O, to be accounted worthy with that company to stand When the Lord "makes up His jewels" "in the glorious holy land," And to know my robes all spotless with His righteousness shall shine, Brings a blessed satisfaction to this longing heart of mine.
In the smiles of my Redeemer, then, I'll press the journey on Till I'm called to lay my burdens and life's cares and duties down. And He'll be my help and comfort, He will be my strength and stay, Till the resurrection morning ushers in the perfect day. MATTHEW BAIRD.
