In others is finished, by others is done,—
Then Christ hath died in vain!
If we have not learned of immortal life,
And a future free from pain;
The kingdom of God in the heart of man,
And the living world on Heaven’s plan,—
Then Christ arose in vain!
THANKSGIVING.
Well is it for the land whose people, yearly,
Turn to the Giver of all Good with praise,
