BEYOND THE SKY.

By Allie A. Santee

The heavenly host with joy will greet The coming of weary, patient feet; The pearly gates will open wide For those who are washed in the crimson tide; And the shout of triumph arises high, For their home is waiting beyond the sky.
Unknown they have struggled here below, Bearing the cross through pain and woe, With willing hearts and with loving hands, Faithfully keeping their Lord’s commands; And now their earth-life is all passed by, And their home is waiting beyond the sky.
God, who hears when his children pray, Has given strength for each weary day; And when the warfare for aye is done, When the strife is over and victory won, Their songs of gladness are rising high, For their home is waiting beyond the sky. ALLIE A. SANTEE.
