A TIME by ETHEL CORNELL CHAMBERS

First Line: THERE IS A TIME WHEN LONGING FILLS THE SOUL
Last Line: AND HASTEN ONWARD WITH ME TO THE GOAL.
Subject(s): SALVATION;

There is a time when longing fills the soul,
There is a time when first we look above, --
A time when first we long to be made whole,
Before we venture out upon His love,

There is a time when gladness fills our being,
A time when Jesus comes to reign supreme.
A glorious day we cannot help remember, --
-- After we ventured out, -- Oh praise His name.

O, dear remembered time, how dear I hold it,
When Jesus spoke sweet peace unto my soul.
Come, come my sisters and my earthly brothers
And hasten onward with me to the goal.
