THE HAPPY CHRISTIAN.

By D. Hildreth

TUNE—"Good Bye."

I love to walk in the narrow road, That leads to realms on high, We soon shall reach that happy place, And every tear be dry.

I love to pray when my Jesus hears, And angels hover nigh; The Saviour bows his gracious ear, And hears the weary sigh.

I love to sit in the leafy shade, When Sabbath hours are nigh; And meditate upon His Word, Where priceless treasures lie.

I love the blessing which he bestows, To all who will draw nigh; The fountain of his boundless love, Will never, never dry.

I love to think that He's coming soon, To take us home on high; O then we'll give to this poor world, A long and last "good bye." D. HILDRETH. Will Co., Ill.
