ETERNAL LIFE.

By R. F. Cottrell

BY R. F. COTTRELL.
ETERNAL life! Could we but know The value of that gift of Love, Our hearts would rise from things below, And soar away to things above.
Eternal life! Thou hope that cheers The pilgrim lone by cares oppressed, Thou hast a power to calm our fears, In thee we see our promised rest.
Eternal life! Transcendant grace! That proffered it to rebel man— With gratitude and joy we trace Our Saviour's love throughout the plan.
Eternal life! Our rich reward, If this is lost, our all is gone: Come, Jesus, come, our dearest Lord! We long to see the morning dawn.
Eternal life! Life without end, Where all the saints immortal meet: There we shall see the sinner's Friend, And bow and worship at his feet.
Eternal life! Come, welcome day, Come, end of pain and grief and strife, We long to see thy dawning ray, Eternal life! Eternal life!
