The Sabbath day was ending
In the City by the Sea,
From whence we were leaving,
Friends of mine and me.
We faced a gorgeous sunset,
In the glowing lighted West,
As we were hurrying homeward.
For a blessed boon of rest.
We came to a little city,
Beyond a wee small hill,
And entered very slowly,
The town of Summerville.
i
The stillness was impressive;
And riding thru the town,
We received a benediction,
Just as the sun went down.
The Judas, Azaleas and Dogwood,
Wisteria, on the trees,
Entwined with the mosses,
Cast fragrance to the breeze,
I
Contemplating the beauty,
Of the vale and dlell;
We were suddenly startled,
By the ringing of a bell.
“O! Come, Come, Come, Come—
The message seemed to say—
Come to the Church in the Wildwood”
And, with us, sing and pray.
As we drew nearer to the church,
You could hear that old hymn
“Coronation”, as they sang,
“Bring forth the royal Diadem”.
“Come to Jesus”, said the parson,
Put Him to the test;
Bring your burdens to Him,
And He will give you rest.”
Then again, they are singing,
“Jesus, Lover of my Soul”—
Winds brought back the echo:
“While the nearer waters roll”.
•
Once again upon the highway,
Amid the rushing throng; ‘
Thru my head kept ringing,
That old familiar song.
“Home sweet Home” appealing,
From Heaven’s altar stairs,
While by my bed I’m kneeling,
Thankful, in my prayers.-
