CHRIST'S LOVE.

By H. H. M.

Wheu I behold the wondrous love, Of my dear Lord who reigus above, And how he died for me, To his dear arms I'd quickly fly Passing all earthly pleasures by. And ever with him be.

So great his loviug kindness stands, That all who kuow his blest commands Wait on his uame with fear; Aud watchiug always unto prayer, To shun the tempter's wily snare, They wait his comiug near.

And when thick darkness gathers round The path the saint has newly found, And all seems dark and drear, Let one sweet smile of love be shown From him who bore our sins alone, And all would disappear.

So when he comes in dazzling power, One smile from him in that dread hour, Will fill our hearts with joy; Then with the angels we will sing, The praises of our heavenly King, In bliss without alloy. H. H. M. Columbia Co. Wis.
