The Reign of Love

THE REIGN OF LOVE. {For the Improvement Era.) Selfishness is a cruel thing to hold within one's breast, While love produceth all things good, and gives the soul sweet rest. Love! thou king of conquerors! how gentle is thy reign! Thy precious worth while here on earth I ever will proclaim! If love be at the helm, friend, while crossing life's rough sea, You can steer your bark however dark to the portal of safety. Lovers' loves are blissful, but the greatest love supreme, to gain, Is the love of God within the soul — priceless and without stain. When earth shall rest and millennial joys to Saints be given, The reign of Love will then commence, and Idumea shall be Heaven. George W. Crocheron. Salt Lake City, Utah.
