What are My Loved Ones Doing To-Day ?

By Mrs. M. J. Smith. What are my loved ones doing to-day ? Those who have crossed o'er the ehilh'ng tide, And landed safe on the other side. Those who left in the shrouding's fold, Beautiful clay for the grave to hold, What are those dear ones doing to-day ? I who must with sorrow and care, I who am hoping a orown to wear, J with 'a heaven to lose or win, I who am tempted and tried within, Long to step over the bounds of time, And see what they do in that glorious clime. Waters of life untroubled are there, Life's fair tree hath its fruits to bear, Songs far sweeter than poet's dream, Angels sing by the flowing stream. Folding their snowy winga they glide Over the sands by the river's side, Welcoming those who pure and white, Enter the beautiful gates to-night. Oh, to be with them 1 Oh, to be there ! Oh, to be free from this cumbering care ! Oh, to be safe in the heavenly fold, Out of the gathering storms and cold ; Only to know my sins all past, Jesus had loved me, and crowned me at last 1 Soul be content. Thou must labor and wait, Toiling and trusting both early and late. Jesus knows just when to call thee up higher, More than His will dost thou wish or desire ? Called in the morning, or called in the night, Called from earth's darkness, or called from its light, Patiently wait thou, and all will be right.
