For Others' Good

By F. W. Hiddleson

THE rose that blooms by shady rill, The flower that opes in leafy wood, The soul that tries its lot to fill, Lives not for self, but others' good, May grow and blossom, fade and die, And to this great world be unknown; But in the realm beyond the sky, Where we shall reap what here we've sown, Where thoughts and deeds unhidden stand Before the Judge of sea and land, The motives pure that prompt such heart, Of every guise will stand apart, And rose and flower will get renown, And shine as gems in soul's bright crown. So may thy life, tho hidden now, By many cares and burdens bound, One day be free, and may thy brow By a loving Saviour's hand be crowned.
