[Dr. George W. Levere.]
To the Preachers' Union, of Charleston:
One of our number has finished his journey,
And in obedience passed under the rod.
He was a soldier who fought for his country—
Fought for his Saviour, humanity, God.
And in obedience passed under the rod.
He was a soldier who fought for his country—
Fought for his Saviour, humanity, God.
Brethren, 'ere long we must lay down our armor;
Soon we must cease from our warfare, and rest.
Let us be faithful, and constant in labor,
That we may enter the home of the blest.
Soon we must cease from our warfare, and rest.
Let us be faithful, and constant in labor,
That we may enter the home of the blest.
46
We are ambassadors for the Lord Jesus,
With a commission His will to perform.
In all the duties required He will guide us,—
Give us a shelter, and peace, in the storm.
With a commission His will to perform.
In all the duties required He will guide us,—
Give us a shelter, and peace, in the storm.
And when the work of our mission is over,
We shall with joy to our King's palace come,—
There we shall hear from our Prince and our Saviour,
“Rest from thy labor, ye blessed, well done!”
We shall with joy to our King's palace come,—
There we shall hear from our Prince and our Saviour,
“Rest from thy labor, ye blessed, well done!”
