THE CHRISTIAN'S HOPE.

As when the weary traveler gains The height of some commanding hill, His heart revives, if o'er the plains, He sees his home, though distant still.
So when the Christian pilgrim views, By faith, his mansion in the skies, The sight his fainting strength renews, And wings his speed to reach the prize.
The hope of heaven his spirit cheers, No more he grieves for troubles past; Nor any future trial fears, So he may safe arrive at last.
'Tis there, he says, I am to dwell, With Jesus in the realms of day; Then I shall bid my cares farewell, And he shall wipe my tears away.
