More Than Conquerors

By Worthie Harris Holden

WORTHIE HARRIS HOLDEN
EARTH has her heroes, and o’er them she wreathes Garlands of glory for their laurel leaves. Victors are they in strife or battle-field. Earth’s greatest plaudit, blazoned on each shield, Is this ensign of triumph,—Conqueror! Nor is there ever an excelsior. Be he a wrestler, barrister, or king, No higher praise can any tribute bring.
But for the Christian in the greater strife E’en “more than conqueror” must seal his life; More than a victor over fear and sin, When through the gates he fain would enter in. “Much more abundant” is the grace in store For him who tribulation will endure; If more than conqueror o’er self and strife, More than a triumph waits to crown his life.
Far, far above the heights of highest thought Is the “much more” that Christ for thee hath bought. Cast off whate’er may hinder or enthrall; To reach his standard sacrifice thine all.
