"I will arise"

JAMES DOUGLAS GOSNEY

"Arise , let us go hence," the Master said.
Let thought, released from pain and sin and fear,
Fill the sad silences with joy, and hear
The songs the angels sing, when doubt has fled!

Let us arise! and part from all that dimmed
Our true inheritance and service loyal,
Aspiring, as we may, to sonship royal,
Follow the upward path with hearts o'erbrimmed.

And welcomed home, we find God has restored
All good that seemed to flee from us, and given
Of His abundance that true bread from heaven.
Arise! We take His hand—and our reward.
