The Christian's Trust.

By A. M. A. Cornell

AWAKE, my slumbering harp, and raise Devotion's sweetest notes of praise; Arouse, my tuneful powers, to sing The praises of my coming King.
Hear O earth! the tidings glad: Ye weary one's, with hearts so sad, Rejoicing, lift your eyes on high, And see the Lord of glory nigh
O list not to the siren lay, Which tells of a long, long delay; For, lightning like, he soon will come, Descending on his azure throne.
Shun the vain world, with all its cares, Lest that day take you unawares; O, let your faith and works abound, And in your lips no guile be found
Let speech be sound and uncondemned, That those who scoff may be ashamed, Having no evil thing to say Of those they fain would lead astray.
O may the God of truth and grace, Direct and guide you all your days; Preserve you blameless till the Lord Of life shall crown you with reward. A. M. A. CORNELL.
