"These Three"

O, little heart, be brave!
The fight is hard to win;
The struggle long and fierce
With unbelief and sin.
But God is on thy side,
And He will hold thy hand.
Though foemen, lurking, hide,
Thou shalt possess the land!

O, little heart, be true!
The world with doubt o'ercast,
Hath need of simple truth,
That standeth firm and fast.
Thy quiet trust must show
To hearts grown faint with dread,
How blest are they who know
Love reigneth overhead!

O, little heart, be sweet!
Let gentleness control
Thy every word and act,
And dwell deep in thy soul.
Full many hearts are brave,
Full many hearts are true;
But that heart breasts each wave,
That hath God's sweetness, too!

Thou, then, dear little heart,
Be brave, and true, and sweet!
And let our earth-lives feel
Thy trinity complete.
So shall thy peace be great;
And thou, thyself, have place
Within the "Golden Gate."
Before Love's perfect face!
