On the Other Side

By Worthie Harris Holden

WORTHIE HARRIS HOLDEN
’Twill seem so brief on the other side, This storm and wind and the changing tide, For love must measure by gain, not loss; And crowns will outweigh every irksome cross When safe in the harbor we ride.
’Twill seem too little,— our toilsome care To search far and wide for jewels rare,— For close to those pierced hands and feet Each sacrifice will be deemed most sweet To lay at his footstool there.
’Twill seem such bliss when we hear his voice That now just the thought makes my soul rejoice; Though many earth-voices would lead astray, They can not molest us nor cause dismay If we ever make him our choice.
O, to dream of the better land is rest! But the thought that delights my heart the best Is that Christ will lead us forevermore To pleasures unknown, on that happy shore, The far-away land of the blest.
