Love's Tribute

By Worthie Harris Holden

No eulogy or eloquent appeal Can echo and reecho in the heart, As when some trusting child your hand will steal, And softly say, "I love you," then depart.
It thrills your soul to be accounted dear, To know your labor was not spent in vain, And breathes an incense and a holy cheer Like morning's sunshine after summer rain.
So can my Saviour's love be glorified, E'en when my feeble, stammering tongue may say With heart sincere, "I love my Christ who died, And seek his hand to guide me through the day."
O Love divine, so infinite and strong, My heart delights thy wondrous gift to praise! I would my life could utter all day long A nobler tribute to thy matchless ways.
