THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD.

By Eliza H. Morton

ELIZA H. MORTON.
Murmuring waters gleam and glisten In the golden glow Of the summer sun that’s shining Where they softly flow.
Cloudy hilltops catch the brightness, Sending it afar Up the zenith, o’er the woodlands,— Silvery star and bar,
Symbol solemn of the beauty That will shine within When the hardened heart is lifted From the depth of sin,
When the feet are planted firmly Where the glory gleams; Then the life will shed a radiance Like yon solar beams.
Joyful service, full of gladness Words can ne’er express, Filling, lighting, long-closed cloisters,— Perfect happiness!
