The Blessed Hope

By L. D. Santee

L. D. SANTEE
The “blessed hope” is the one that lingers, Bright with its promise, and sweet with prayer; Harps will be touched with deathless fingers, I shall hear them and see them over there; Forms will be there of matchless beauty, Walking the shining streets of gold; Rich and sweet were their lives with duty, And their joys no angel has ever told.
The “blessed hope” with its joy enfolds me, Rich with the radiance sent from heaven, And ’mid the cares of the world upholds me. There’s life eternal when crowns are given; Ties unite, that have long been riven; Friends will greet that were parted long; Eyes will shine with the light of heaven, Voices will swell the eternal song.
The “blessed hope,” with its endless gladness, Filleth the heart with its joy and peace, Bannisheth ever the gloom of sadness, Filling the soul with its glad release. God in his love has the promise given Of a home where heartache shall come no more, With never a tempest to cloud the heaven, And never a wreck on the shining shore.
Moline, Ill.
