ALL IN ALL.

By Alice Cary

Aweary, wounded unto death,— Unfavored of men's eyes. I have a house not made with hands, Eternal in the skies.
A house where but the steps of faith Through the white light have trod, Steadfast among the mansions of The City of our God.
There never shall the sun go down From the lamenting day, There storms shall never rise to beat The light of love away.
There living streams through deathless flowers Are flowing free and wide; There souls that thirsted here below Drink, and are satisfied.
I know my longing shall be filled Though this weak, wasting clay Be folded like a garment, for The grave, and laid away.
I know it by the immortal hopes That wrestle down my fear,— By all the awful mysteries That hide Heaven from us here.
Oh, what a blissful heritage On such as I to fall; Possessed of Thee, my Lord and God, I am possessed of all.
—Alice Cary.
