THE JOURNEY OF LIFE.

By Eliza H. Morton

BY ELIZA H. MORTON.

THE wild winds moan, the night is dark, The way is long and drear; Alone I wander in the world, Weighed down with doubt and fear.

And is it thus, O heart, with thee? Is this thy sad, sad cry? To live a few short, fleeting years And then, alas! to die?

'Tis thus without the Lamp of Life, The soul must be oppressed; For he who lives within himself, Knows not of rest, sweet rest.

But he who lives for God and man, Who lives by faith alone, Walks onward in a path that leads From earth up to a throne.

O glorious life, lived here below! 'Tis heaven on earth indeed To take God's word into the heart, Upon its truths to feed.

Wild winds may moan, the way be long, But Jesus makes it light; Doubts fly away before our faith, And all is wondrous bright.
