PRESERVATION OF THE LORD'S PEOPLE.

And the Lord shut him in.—Gen. vii, 16.
WHO was saved when heaven's last fountains Did their flood of death begin, And all flesh on plains and mountains, Perished in its awful sin?— Only Noah, In the ark of God "shut in."
Who was saved from direst horror At that unexpected hour, When both Sodom and Gomorrah Sunk o'erwhelmed, to rise no more?— Lot, the faithful, Was alone removed to Zoar.
Who was saved when desolation Fell on Salem's guilty head; When the accursed "abomination," All "the holy place" o'erspread?— Church of Jesus, Ye alone to Pella fled.
Christians, fear not, then, nor tremble, When the last dread trump shall sound— Swift as lightning, ye'll assemble, Gathering your Redeemer round; And in safety Will at last, with Christ be found.
