FAITH AND SIGHT.

By Elizabeth Akers

BY ELIZABETH AKERS.
If the Great Ruler of the worlds should be Moved to descend from his eternal place, To veil the awful splendor of his face And lay aside invisibility, So that our feeble eyes unblindedly Might bear the softened glory, by his grace— How gladly should we hasten to embrace The privilege of worship at his knee! From every corner of earth's peopled space, From every island shouldered by the sea, How would all souls, of every clime and race, Gather to pour strong prayer and tremulous plea, Unuttered now, because we cannot trace The way to him, and lack the faith to see!
—The Independent.
