The Chain of Truth

By ELIZA H. MORTON

ELIZA H. MORTON
WHEN came this earth from God's own hand In beauty dressed, He flung a chain among its hills From east to west,— A wondrous chain with shining links,— The chain of truth; It falls low down within the reach Of age and youth.
This chain was seen in Eden fair, Destined to last; 'Tis fastened to the throne of God, And held there fast. Its links, all through the Word divine, Are clear and bright. They make connection with the heart In rays of light.
O Truth, we welcome thee on earth! Welcome to-day. No bondage from thy chain is felt, But rest for aye. We reach our hands and clasp thy links; They lift afar, From sordid things of time and earth To heaven's Star.
