The Zeal of Former Days.

By Max Hill

CALL to remembrance former days When truth first reached thy sight, How with a song of faith and praise Ye bore affliction's fight.

While ye were made a gazing-stock, Reproached, afflicted sore, Still thou, tho men should jeer and mock, Pressed on and praised the more.

A better, more enduring crown For thee in heaven waits; There ye may rest, the cross laid down, Beyond the pearly gates.

So therefore cast not thou away Thy ear'ly confidence; The sure reward in God's great day Will be thy recompense.

And we have need of patience still The while we yet remain, For having done the Master's will The promise we shall gain.

For yet a little while and He Whose love our hearts have known Will come, and on the glassy sea He will reward His own. MAX HILL.
