THE PRIZE BEYOND.

By Baptist Union

PERISHING splendors, pass away; Vanish, ye glories that decay; Onward I haste, and cannot stay, Mine is the rest to come.
Not for me are the joys that fleet, Not for me is the music sweet, Mine be the tears at Jesus' feet, Mine the eternal home.
Not for me the glittering gem, Not for me the diadem, No delight can I find in them, Since my Lord was crowned with thorns: Mine the tears that pilgrims know, Mine be their portion of toil and woe, Mine be the way that my Lord did go, And the cross that he hath borne.
Not for me is the trump of fame, Brawling abroad my worthless name, Telling the story ever the same Of pride and vanity; Mine be the toil, the sighs, the tears, Mine be the weary, wasting years, Mine be the hope when Christ appears I shall his glory see. -Baptist Union.
