A Constant Spirit

By Worthie Harris Holden

WORTHIE HARRIS HOLDEN
No swiftly rising waves wind driven to beat Assault upon the strand ere they retreat, No lurid flash which by its vivid light Reveals the veiled specters of the night, But constant and abiding evermore His legacy of peace from heaven’s store, And e’er increasing light of dawn to bless,— The rising of the Sun of Righteousness.
So, heaven-wrought, our souls in hallowed life Are kept unsullied through our earthly strife, And Israel are children of the light Though Egypt gloom enshrouds, and it is night; Fore’er within the spring of life o’erflows,— A stream of joy to bless where’er it goes,— And love abides forevermore to stay To crown our bliss supreme through endless day.
