Vision

LENA M. HALL

"They that be wise shall shine,"
Shine as the heavens bright;
They that shall lead to righteousness
As stars diffuse their light.
"They that be wise shall shine,"
God's holy laws reveal;
Break for the world His holy bread,
Renew its paschal meal.

Oh, in the darkened hours,
When the high heavens shall fail,
When sun and moon and stars alike
Before earth's horrors pale,
E'en in the darkened hours
Let faith's faint flame be fanned,
Fed by the holy prophet's word:
"The wise shall understand."
