|
|
<p>There’s peace and rest in paradise,<br>
|
|
In weary hours we say;<br>
|
|
And oh that we had wings like doves<br>
|
|
That we might flee away!</p>
|
|
<p>For here so strong the evil seems,<br>
|
|
So weak appears the good,<br>
|
|
Our standard wavers in the rush<br>
|
|
Of evil, like a flood.</p>
|
|
<p>At times, through the long lonely watch,<br>
|
|
Nor sun nor moon appears;<br>
|
|
Without, incessant fightings are,<br>
|
|
Within, incessant fears.</p>
|
|
<p>Then for the quiet land we long,<br>
|
|
And the abode of peace;<br>
|
|
And for the word, “Come, weary soul,<br>
|
|
From war and vigil cease!”</p>
|
|
<p>But in our stronger hours we grasp<br>
|
|
The warrior’s sword again,<br>
|
|
And burn the good fight yet to fight,<br>
|
|
The faithful watch maintain.</p>
|
|
<p>We fain would tread the famous way<br>
|
|
Martyrs and saints have trod;<br>
|
|
The hours ebb fast of this one day<br>
|
|
Of noblest war for God!</p>
|
|
<p>The Lord Himself hath need of us;<br>
|
|
On! till the fight be won;<br>
|
|
And the King’s words shall thrill the heart:<br>
|
|
“Servant of God, well done!”</p>
