Increasing Glory

By WORTHIE HARRIS HOLDEN

WORTHIE HARRIS HOLDEN
“The path of the righteous is as the light of dawn, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.” Prov. 4:18, R. V., margin.
'Twas dark, and all the city lay In slumber in the arms of night, When in the east awoke the day With its first streak of softened light.
Each jewel bright and starry gem Of heaven paled before the dawn, As night laid by her diadem In full allegiance to the morn.
All silently was lit the sky Till, unannounced, sprang forth the day, When from his couch arose on high The sun on his triumphant way.
So is the path of righteousness To him who, yearning, seeks for light,— E'en as the birth of dawn to bless Till perfect day excludes the night.
O perfect Day! no mortal ken Can sense the glory-scene sublime When Christ shall claim his diadem Midst light and majesty divine.
