THE CAUSE OF TRUTH.

By G. F. Rider

THE cause of truth is marching on. O'er stormy sea and troubled land True soldiers of the cross have gone, Their trust in God's unswerving hand.
The cause of truth is gaining ground, Tho earth and hell its way oppose; It soon will circle earth around, And souls be garnered where it goes.
The cause of truth the day will win, E'en tho at times 'tis seeming lost; The dread and awful monster, sin, Must be destroyed, whate'er the cost.
The cause of truth will stand for aye, When sun, moon, stars are vailed in night, And usher in a brighter day, The land of rest, the saints' delight.
The truth will live while cycles run Their endless round, their changeless course, And curse of sin no more be found In all God's boundless universe.
Praise God, 'twill live while ages roll, And shed its sacred beams abroad,— Will live, enlarging every soul; The truth will live, for 'tis of God.
Then rouse ye, soldiers of the Lord, And lift the blood-stained banner high; Proclaim God's all-unchanging Word, Until we meet beyond the sky.
Paton, Iowa. G. F. RIDER.
