THE PATH OF THE JUST.

By T. R. Williamson

[By the late T. R. Williamson, of Oakland, Cal.]
“The path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.” Prov. 4:18.
The path of the just shines more and more Unto the perfect day. His weary feet halt on this earthly shore, And the fog-bank of death hangs heavily o’er The view of his onward way.
The path of the just shines more and more, Night blurs the sun from sight; Against him earth’s troubles expend their force, All hindering woes can not darken his course; He walks in a glow of light.
The path of the just shines more and more, Glintings of glory bloom Through the fog, like joys by the angels’ brought, Like comforting beams through the dreariness caught, From the window-lamp of home.
The path of the just shines more and more; Refulgent streams of light Emblazon the gloom ’round his faithful feet, Encourage his progress with promises sweet Of God’s land almost in sight.
The path of the just shines more and more; Supernal splendors play; Forever the Daystar dispels the gloom; Eternity’s children caught up from the tomb Inherit God’s perfect day.
