Now-we are toiling through a weary life,
Then - we shall rest;
Now- we are battling with the sin and strife;
Then-we shall rest.
Now-we are groaning 'neath a heavy load,
Our feet grow weary of the dusty road,
The upland path is steep, the hills we climb,
Lead surely to a peaceful sunny clime,
Then-we shall rest.
Now-we are pupils in the school of time,
Then-we shall know;
Now-we are reaching after truths sublime,
Then-we shall know.
Now-amid the mists of years,
Doubts are ours and many fears;
Soon will pass the gloom of night;
Heaven will give us cloudless light;
Then-we shall know.
Then-mind and heart will glow,
With raptures untold;
All we have longed to know
Heaven will unfold;
Then-we shall hail in song,
Him we have loved so long;
We His dear face shall see,
And through eternity
Follow the Lamb!
What a beautiful poem - for a time when the weary Christian needs encouragement! Hope you enjoy this poem as much as I do!
