Courage and Praise

By Worthie Harris Holden

TALK courage, and thy soul shall ope to sunshine O'erflowing all thy life with joyous light, And gloom and doubt dispel, and lurking shadows That ere enshrouded hope with dismal night.
Sing fervent praise to God. Thy heart shall lighten, Its weary burdens dropping at the cross. Thy spirit blessed some pilgrim sad shall brighten, And trials will bring gains where once was loss.
Pray in doxologies unto thy Maker, For blessings rich provided by His hand; And thy requests, ennobled by communion, Shall voice thy faith that He will understand.
Then like the bread cast forth upon the water, The hope and cheer inspired by thy soul, Returning, shall bring thee a benediction, And heaven shall their echoes blest enroll. Worthie Harris Holden.
