The Christian

By Worthie Harris Holden

By Worthie Harris Holden
THE Christian has trials. Ah, yes; but the world, With its dire Herculean sorrow, Has only the bitterest night of wo, With never a glad to-morrow.
The Christian must mourn. His tears will flow By the sepulcher's gray stone; But "I am the resurrection" comes From the great white glory-throne.
The Christian must hunger and thirst and want, But he "shall be satisfied," While the wide-world famine from sea to sea Exists for souls who denied.
The Christian's peace like a river flows On, on to the ocean wide, With a broader span and a greater depth, Till it blends with the heaven-tide.
Cling not to the baubles of earthly dross, Whose tinsel must tarnish and cease, But strive for the prize that endures for ay In the glorious kingdom of peace.
