Ask Thyself

By WORTHIE HARRIS HOLDEN

WORTHIE HARRIS HOLDEN
If to-night the angel bid thee Lay aside thy robe of care, With the girdle for thy toiling, What would be thy farewell prayer?
Shouldst thou leave the exit portal Of all worldly things to-night, Would the glittering earthly dazzle Linger on thy mortal sight?
Couldst thou know the bliss of heaven And the joy of trophies there, Wouldst thou ever leave the vineyard, Or neglect the hour of prayer?
O for visions of the Spirit, That our hearts may sense aright What our life is, while we tarry Through the vigils of our night!
For it may be thou shalt tarry, Or it may be thou shalt sleep, Till thy sheaves the angels garner When the Master comes to reap.
