Truth Never Dies

Review and Herald Publishing Association · Takoma Park Station, Washington, D. C. · Oct 28, 1915

TRUTH never dies. The ages come and go; The mountains wear away; the seas retire; Destruction lays earth’s mighty cities low, And empires, states, and dynasties expire; But caught and handed onward by the wise, Truth never dies.

Though unreceived and scoffed at through the years; Though made the butt of ridicule and jest; Though held aloft for mockery and jeers, Denied by those of transient power possessed, Insulted by the insolence of lies, Truth never dies.

Truth answers not; it does not take offense, But with a mighty silence bides its time: As some great cliff that braves the ele- ments, And lifts through all the storms its head sublime, So truth, unmoved, its puny foes defies, And never dies.
