"TILL HE SHALL GIVE ME LIGHT."

In all the dewy morning, ■ Through all the golden day, And, when the quiet uh&dows FaH sof c around my way. Beneath tbe sky's soft splendour, All through the silent night. Still I am waiting waiting, Till He shall give me light. I feel the sweet warm sunshine, The kiss of balmy -air, And' know- the young spring's footsteps Hayemade the brown earth fair; I breathe the breath of roses In summer's golden glow And hear the reapers singing, Adowa the autumn row: And through the long cold winter, When earth' lies still and -white, Still I nm waiting, waiting, Til He shall giTe me light. The f 4C69 of the children That used to smile 'so fair, My heart holds bitter grieving Mo see the darkness there. I wonder if their seeing Wnat change my eyes might see. If in through all the darkness Each face shonld shine on me ; Bat TVe no time for grieving, I hear the voices cry. lm waiting by tne roadside, Af.d '* Jjsus passeth by "; And come time He will see me, And smile with sweetest grace, And still my hungry longing When I shall see His face. Ify feet have grown so weary, The long roa.d almost o'er. My hands have dropped their burden That thoy can bear no more ; But fctlll my heart is watching, - His promise is it* might ; If f life is at its even And soon it will be light. Oh, sound of; many harpers, That echo far and sweet I Oh, c#y of all glory, * ■ I see your golden street! 1 „ Oh, Throne of the Eternal, And of tbe Crucified, , , Oh. peace that passeth knowledge, Oh. life beyond the tideSome day.'my soul sh*U greet you > With heaven's new gift of tight, , For Jam wailing, waiting. . " And He sho.ll give me light.
