The light of this great world
And of the world to come;
With rays of glory pearled,
The light of this great world,
Love’s banner fair unfurled
Mid labor’s busy hum,
The light of this great world
And of the world to come.
FEAR NOT.
Fear not though dangers dread assail thee
Stand ever as a hero mid the fray;
Well may the skill of eye and arm avail thee
To keep the foe at bay.
Fear not, though dark the way and dreary,
The legions of the enemy shall flee;
When thou art sore oppressed and worn and weary,
Thy Lord takes thought of thee.
THE LAW OF THE PRESENT, OBEY.
The law of the present obey,
To-morrow every one knows
Before we can catch it goes;
Nothing compares with to-day,
Strive as we may.
Be hopeful, and happy and brave,
Whatever the moments may bring;
When given to sighing, sing,
Wait not for life boat to save,
Walk on the wave.
