The Light of Life

HETTIE L. ANDERSON

"In him was life; and the life was the light of men."—John 1:4.

When a man shall come in his journey
To the mythical threescore and ten,
Should he yield consent to a mortal law
That would limit the lives of men?

Has he not a right to press onward,
His vigor and strength renew?
And count not the years of a mortal dream,
But the joy of living pursue?

Life that knows no beginning,
Life that never shall cease,
Forever and ever at-one with God,
Full of joy and unending peace,

Life that is free from weakness,
That knows not sickness or pain,
Nor remembers aught of a burdened past,
Whose loss is eternal gain!

Forever is Truth's clear shining,
Forever, the Father's love,
His angels guarding and guiding
The way to the heights above.

We'd love to hear from you!
