His spirit so gentle o'er floweth with good,
With kindliest tokens of love; The promise He giveth beyond vale of tears-- Eternal abiding above.

Life's duties demanding a sacrificed heart By trials hedged on either side, Yet beauty of holies celestial with love, I long for thee what e'er betide. Her Saviour upholding, foes dropping by way, She trustingly presses her flight, When sin all surrendered and laid upon Cross In peace with Christ enters Lovelight. ~The Land of Love.~ We are told of a beautiful land of love, |
