d, old sea. I have found no mystic treasure hidden in the mines of long ago. He has kept for me a light in heaven's window, burning bright in its intrinsic glow. I see by the gleam of the yesterdays, the things of today's revene. I see the lane that leads over the river of tomorrow's bridged stream. My treasure has never been hidden, or cast away by the hand of wroth. But kept a gift of mercy, burnished bright from the dust of moth. I walked for a day by Shilo's river, out in the land; I compassed the rays of Eden, And harked to listen at the call of Zion upon the golden strands. I pass from ages unto ages, I am a child of time. I cannot return or choose the wrath that I would gather, as I pass by the gates of my own mind. If I pass over the divide, the world shall see the things that Jehovah lent to me. That great light for which his son once died on Calvary. That I might sift the sheltered sands, and gather out the gold; Strewn by the mystic hand of him, back in the days of old. Through the hills and upon the desert, as a mighty obelisk stands, We gather out the wreaths of beauty, cast for the life of man. The hosts stand in the distance, to observe the things that we do.

We see our friends gathering from over the ranges, stepping by the hours of time. We are ascending the heights from the rivers, Lord plant our feet in thy Zion. In the spirit in which we are calling, so shall the answer be. Each deed and day shall be answered, as our souls cry to thee. We are moving in the light of your spirit; Lord, plant our feet in thy Zion. Lord, let us pay for our ways, in the days of our time. For unto life we shall gather from over the ranges, proven by the powers of mind. Let us ascend the heights from the rivers; Lord, plant our feet in thy Zion. Soon our sorrows are ended, soon our woes shall cease. Our days for us shal
