Poems - The Path

The Path

Verse 1
‘Tis always better on before,
The path it shineth more and more
Unto the perfect day;
Today must ever brighter be
Than any yesterday to me,
Along the radiant way.

Verse 2
We live today in God-given joy,
In peace that knoweth no alloy,
In power, in victory;
And our to-morrows, should He stay,
Can be much brighter than to-day,
For He will nearer be.

Verse 3
The light of heaven is on this road,
Above, beneath, around is God,
And Home is gleaming bright.
It may be that to-day He’ll say,
“Rise up, my child, and come away,
And change thy faith to sight.”
