The Victory

By Mrs. Earle Albert Rowell

By Mrs. Earle Albert Rowell
O, weary soul, when crushed with earthly woes, Hope on! Hope on! Think'st thou not that Jesus knows Thy heart was pierced by angry foes? Then why prolong the day, When Jesus longs to say, "Give thou Me thy heart of grief, And I will give thee sweet relief"?
O, weary one, when bent beneath the load, Smile on! Smile on! Fret not thy soul of injuries done. Thy cries and anguish, hid from mortal view, Shall pierce the heavenly mansions through, Where dwells in lofty majesty's abode, The King of Kings, the Lord of Light. He shall judge thy soul aright.
O, vanquished one, no more thy soul must pine. Strive on! Strive on! E'en tho the fight be hard, the battle long. No laurels worn, less victories are won. Fight on! Fight on!
