Godliness Eternal Gain

By N. W. Vincent

A TRILLION years of mirth and pleasure Tell neither worth nor cost, Though added to all earth's rich treasure, Of only one soul — lost! Of self — forever lost!
But if we had in our probation A trillion years of pain, Then joy in ceaseless, glad duration With Christ to live and reign, It would be endless gain.
But easy is Christ's yoke, his burden Light, with will to bear. Past knowledge the increasing guerdon, Rest, peace, Christ's home to share, Joint heirs, bright crowns to wear.
Let's choose to-day the loving Saviour; To him our life we owe. Soon, soon, if true, by his dear favor, Forever free from woe, God's love and joy we'll know.
