The laurel crowns of earth, and walk in
robes
Of purple, far above their brotlie:men;
And every age had some whom God
had called
To walk in white with Christ?to follow
one
Who wore a crown of thorns where moonless
skies
Bent dark o'er darker seas.
"A little while,
And all things shall be new; the night
of earth
Shall pass away forever; 'no more sea'
Shall then be found, for pain and loss
and grief
Are swallowed up in radiant v'etorv.
Yet in tiie country of eternal spring
Many shall bend to kiss the Master's
feet,
Saying,?'He never smiled so sweet before,
Save on the Sea of Sorrow, when the
night
Was saddest on our heart. We followed
him
At other times in sunshine. Summer
days
And moonlight nights he led us over
paths
Bordered with pleasant flowers; but
when his steps
Were on the mighty waters?when we
went i
With Irembling hearts through nights of
pain and loss,
His smile was sweeter and his love
more dear;
And only heaven is better than to walk
With Christ at midnight over moonless
seas.' "
