How Much?

By WORTHIE HARRIS HOLDEN

WORTHIE HARRIS HOLDEN
How much is it worth to be ready And watching for Israel's King? How much should you seek for your trophies As his loyal soldiers to bring? How much do you value a mansion Awaiting your coming on high? How much would you give to escort Him In triumph ascending the sky?
If just for a moment in vision You stood by the river of life When sin and its author were banished, With all of earth's treasures and strife, How then would you value the honor, The pleasures, and wealth of to-day, When crumbled and burned into ashes, Or rusted and gone to decay?
O Lord, in Thy glorious heaven Excelling in majesty, Look down on Thy children in mercy, So wearily groping for Thee, And open their eyes till, beholding Thy beauty, they haste with delight To measure the claims of Thy kingdom And treasure their wealth in Thy light.
