Joy

By Mrs. M. K. Emerson

THERE is joy, pure and sweet, in the favor of Heaven, The warm, genial smiles from above; Mid gems of blest truth the Father has given From the fathomless depths of his love,
Bright hues in the rainbow succeeding the storm, To brighten and shine through our tears, And waves of sweet comfort awakened by hope, Borne on through the current of years.
Then why should we murmur though mortal clouds rise, And darken and dim for a while? There is peace ever found in the presence divine, And joy in the light of that smile.
Bright angels are near us to guard and to guide Our faltering steps on the way; Till earth's passing night forever is lost In the dawn of eternal day. Philadelphia, Pa.
