CHRIST OUR ETERNAL LIFE IN

HEAVEN.

HERE sin forever is forgiven,

TH

There Life is Love Divine;

And all the souls that enter Heaven
In Christ's perfection shine.

The Life that's hid with Christ in God

Shall my salvation be,

The conscience sprinkled with the blood So freely shed for me.

There, in the bliss of loving God,

Eternal Life is mine;

And I shall be a child of God,
And in His nature shine.

And mine shall be the eternal joy,
From sin and death made whole,
To be engaged in God's employ,
The glory of the soul!

O God! my God! when shall it be
That I shall know such grace,
From self and sin forever free,

My Saviour, face to face,—

To know as I myself am known,

In God's Omniscient Light,

And with His saints and angels there Drink infinite delight!

And God's own Holy Light the sphere In which ourselves we see, Transfigured with Our Lord to shine Through all Eternity.

Oh, then it will be ecstasy

The breath of Heaven to breathe, Where no more thought of sin remains Than God Himself can have.

Then, oh, the ecstasy divine
Of rising from the grave,
To see the Lamb for us once slain,
And know His power to save.

FLY TO THE ARK.

TO-DAY! While it is called TO-DAY,

Oh, seck Christ's mercy while you may!
Nor for the coming deluge stay;
Fly to the Ark!

There only are you safe, for there,
Through Jesus' loving grace and care,

The winds and waves that roar shall bear
Your soul to Heaven!

No more the sport of Satan's Feast,
But sweetly on your Saviour's breast,
Soft as a robin in its nest,

Sealed as Christ's own,

Under His wings your soul shall rest,
No more by Guilt's despair opprest,
But in His glorious likeness drest,
Bright as His throne.

The sun in Heaven may lose its fire,
The glorious stars in clouds expire,
A mightier Universe to see

In Jesus' Personality.

Then shall His servants here on earth,
Rejoicing in their heavenly birth,

By Grace Divine, in God's own worth, Such glory see.

Through grace descending from above, In all the Eternity of Love,

From sin and death such Liberty,

Inhabiting Eternity!

THE HEAVEN OF GRATITUDE DIVINE.

H! Gratitude is so divine!

OH!

It makes the Eternal Godhead shine

By rays created from above,

Returned in Everlasting Love.

Located thus, that we might know,

Before we unto glory go,

Divine Experience here below,

Through endless life in Heaven to show.

How far beyond the creature's praise
God's pardoning of our wayward ways!
Filled with the joy of Life Divine,
In God's own likeness so to shine,

That all created worlds may gaze,
And with ecstatic anthems raise
The Song of Moses and the Lamb,
The worship of the Great I AM.

By countless millions thus adored,
Their Loving, Dying, Rising Lord!
O Grateful Love, and Bliss Divine!
Lord, make it thus forever mine,

Theme of Archangel's Reasoning powers,
Lord, make it thus forever ours!
