The Higher Life

By William P. Merrill

WALK in the light! In darkness there is fear, The way is dim, and evil shapes appear; Choose thou the sunshine, for it is thy right: He knows no fear whose path is in the light.
Build on the heights! Below in every breath Lurk germs of listlessness, disease, and death; Life-giving air, bright days, and starlit nights— These are for him whose home is on the heights.
Live near to God! In him is strength and peace, Joy that abides, and life that will not cease; Too long thy feet the path of doubt have trod; Leave thy low life! Rise up and live with God!
— William P. Merrill, D. D.
