The Reward

By C. B. Sappenfield

C. B. SAPPENFIELD
Others may reap where you have sown, And toiled through weary years; Others may garner sheaves you've grown, And watered with your tears; Others may have the world's loud praise, While you are hid from sight; Others may shine for many days, While you toil in the night.
Others may wear a crown of gold, While yours has many a thorn; Others may hear their virtues told, While you are met with scorn. Though hard your lot appears to be, 'Twas harder yet for One Who gave his life for you and me— God's holy, gentle Son.
Compare your burdens and your deeds With those he wrought and bore. Have you desire for greater needs? The world may give no more. Transcendent gifts from God above, For all who labor here, Will be bestowed in gracious love When Jesus shall appear.
