The Victor’s Crown

By George E. Tack

GEORGE E. TACK
To-DAY I view the victor’s prize My Captain brave doth ever hold, Whose jewels glow like dauntless eyes, That gleamed in veiled truth of old,—
The starry, shining, golden crown, That waits me at my journey’s end, When shield and buckler are laid down, And blood-washed souls in chorus blend.
Then shall I drink life’s deathless cup, When past earth’s vexing chains and bars, And go with my Redeemer up The silver stairway of the stars.
The song of triumph on life’s sea, The crowns of loved ones gleaming bright, The words of him who loveth me, Will be as dawn beyond the night.
O loved of God! my love so cold Doth feel the warmth of thy great love, And faith, when tried, shall gleam like gold, And lead me to the prize above.
Baltimore, Md.
