Читать книгу Loved from Eternity - D. E. Young - Страница 7

(Ecclesiastes, Matthew 5:4)

Beneath the sun there is no hope,

no glory, no reward,

but higher up is life and peace

in heaven with our Lord.

A few short days of sorrow more,

a few more tears and sighs,

and we shall be with Him above

enjoying Heaven’s Prize.

Eternal rest and peace and joy,

eternal blessedness,

for those who in their pain below

their Savior did confess

and to the end did persevere

in mockery of pain.

In self-abasement, these the Sad

received eternal gain.
