Heaven's Reward

By Lillian S. Connerly

LILLIAN S. CONNERLY
The task that has been given to thy hand, Do it, my child; but not as unto man, Lest man's reward be given unto thee, And not reward which comes alone from Me,
Man may give glory, or the pomp of power Which satisfies the soul but for an hour; He may give joys which perish in a day, Of wealth or flattery which fade away:
But my reward is an inheritance Eternal in the heavens. No circumstance Of time or chance can change or e'er remove This heavenly inheritance — reward of love.
Its glory may not here revealed be; But faith appropriates the word to thee. And so, whatever work thy hand may do, Do thou it heartily the whole day through.
