HYMN

By Alice Cary

TILL I learned to love thy name, Lord, thy grace denying, I was lost in sin and shame, Dying, dying, dying!
Nothing could the world impart, Darkness held no morrow; In my soul and in my heart Sorrow, sorrow, sorrow!
All the blossoms came to blight, Noon was dull and dreary; Night and day, and day and night, Weary, weary, weary!
When I learned to love thy name, Peace beyond all measure Came, and in the stead of shame, Pleasure, pleasure, pleasure!
Winds may beat, and storms may fall, Thou, the meek and lowly, Reignest, and I sing through all Holy, holy, holy!
Life may henceforth never be Like a dismal story, Far beyond its bound I see Glory, glory, glory!—Alice Cary.
