Our Offering

By WORTHIE HARRIS HOLDEN

WORTHIE HARRIS HOLDEN
It is the hour of evening sacrifice. An awful gloom prevails on Calvary’s hill. The God-man, anguish-torn, yields his all In offering, redemption to fulfil; Such agony no mortal e’er can know. But now complete, a radiant, heavenly glow Enshrouds the Cross Triumphant, raised on high; For “It is finished” is the vict’ry cry.
It is the hour of evening sacrifice, For time’s long day is waning in the west. Each suppliant a treasure offering Now brings to prove how earnest is his quest. Hast thou two mites? Thine all is freely given. Then blessèd art thou in the gift of heaven. But if from an enriched, abundant store Thou metest out a handful running o’er What thou hast left attests thy love for thee In balance-scales with God’s eternity.
Not what I bring, the measure for my King, But what it costs me, is my offering.
Portland, Oregon.
