RETURN TO THE LORD.

By D. E. E.

"Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the Lord." Lam. iii, 40.

Pilgrims in the narrow path to heaven, Do ye seek to prove the Lord of hosts, That the best of blessings may be given? Yea! the remnant cry, with one accord, We are striving, for hath said our Lord, Bring all the tithes according to my word.

Now, in kindness God doth say to all, Turn ye e'en to me with all your heart; Yea, with fasting, weeping, mourning, call, Upon my name, if I may not impart A blessing such as that there should remain In your glad hearts scarce measure to contain.

Robbed has been our Lord of his just due; Still in mercy he hath said, Return Unto me, and I'll return to you. Blessed promise! and we'll heed it now, Lest our hearts in stubborn blindness bow To the arch Deceiver's snaring power.
