LET US GO FORTH.

By Bonar

SILENT, like men in solemn haste, Girded wayfarers of the waste, We pass out at the world's wide gate, Turning our back on all its state; We press along the narrow road That leads to life, to bliss, to God.
We cannot and we would not stay; We dread the snares that throng the way; We fling aside the weight of sin, Resolved the victory to win; We know the peril, but our eyes Rest on the splendor of the prize.
What though with weariness oppressed, 'Tis but a little, and we rest; This throbbing heart and burning brain Will soon be calm and cool again. Night is far spent, and morn is near— Morn of the cloudless and the clear. —Bonar.
