UP HIGHER!

By F. O. Hodge

Up higher! up higher! why cling to the sod? 'Tis not for thy good, or the glory of God. Be zealous for truth, and be strong in the right— Up higher, poor pilgrim, God dwells in the light!
And so when the city comes down from above, With its light, and its joy, and its glory, and love;— The city long looked for by prophets and seer, When Christ in his glory as King shall appear,
That thou in that holy and glorified band Redeemed from the earth, on Mt. Zion shall stand, To dwell in His presence, through richest of grace Delighting thyself in "abundance of peace." F. O. HODGE.
