Shall I be There ?

By R. C. BAKER.

WHEN in her Eden bloom, Earth's smiling face rejoices, And God's dear saints to Zion come With blended hearts and voices ; Shall I be there ?
When bowed before the throne, In lowliest adoration, They strike their harps of sweetest tone And sing the great salvation ; Shall I be there ?
When the immortal host, The golden streets are thronging, And taste those joys for which they've sought With ardent hope and longing ; Shall I be there ?
And when those tearful eyes Light up with bliss unfading, And an immortal starry crown Each sainted brow is shading ; Shall I be there ?
When Jesus' matchless love The heavenly choir are singing, And hallelujahs loud and high, Are through Heaven's arches ringing ; Shall I be there ?
Yes, by the grace of God, And Jesus' loving favor, This thought shall animate my soul, And be my purpose ever ; I will be there. Mackford, Wis. R. C. BAKER.
