Look up.

By S. Elmer

Come all ye lone pilgrims who are bound for the kingdom, Look upward, take courage, nor faint by the way; For soon, very soon, you will enter that city, Whose light shines more clear than the sun at noon-day,

To dwell in the presence of Him who redeemed us, With saints of all ages for ever to be, And join angel choirs in the music of Heaven, Where all is pure joy and sweet harmony.

There we shall sit by the clear crystal river, And list to its murmurs as it glides gently by, And gaze on those walls whose unsurpassed beauty All the rich kingdoms of earth will outvie.

How pure and how holy, and full of bright glory, The city which God in his love will prepare, How brilliant the crowns and how spotless the garments Which all of its glorified millions will wear.

In those shady bowers where the tree of life's blooming, We'll recount all our trials and sufferings o'er, While praises celestial, will re-echo through Heaven, To Him who hath saved us from sin evermore.

S. ELMER.
