Nearer Than We Dream

By Worthie Harris Holden

WORTHIE HARRIS HOLDEN
A few more paces then the journey ended, A few more trials and the triumph won, A few more darksome hours of patient waiting Until the rising of our glorious Sun.
Much nearer than we dream the heavenly city, And close at hand our Father’s kind embrace, When passing the triumphal arch of glory To dwell within the radiance of His face.
Upon the threshold of our joys eternal Why linger long amid the gloom of grief? Our hope, our life, our surety, are supernal, And earth’s short day for praise is all too brief.
