COMING TRIUMPH.

By J. E. C.

THE archangel's shout—and the trump of God, Shall soon be heard by the weary and worn; And the quick'ning dust, and the heaving sod, Return the saints from the silent bourne, And hearts unite, once with partings torn; While plaudits greet the sin-freed throng, And living lips wreath the victor's song.

And now gathered home is the remnant host, To shine as stars, and as pillars fair; Beyond the reach of the grave's proud boast, In a temple peerless—they are hidden there— The glory of God, and his name to bear; To dwell for aye, with him, face to face, In the city prepared for their dwelling place. J. E. C. Wright, Mich.
