VISIONS OF ETERNITY.
Far, far away o’er the meadow,
Watching the sunset’s glow,
List’ning to the songbirds chirping
To the night, sweet and low,
Oh there as the twilight shadows
Bid goodbye to the day,
How our souls go out in rapture
From tenements of clay.
For there in the dim seclusion
Of nature’s magic hour,
A glorious beauty is revealed
Of God’s most sacred pow’r.
A sublime myster’ous vision,
A halo from above,
Casting sunshine o’er the shadows
By virtue of His love.
LOVE IS THE FULFILLMENT.
Love is the fulfillment for God is love,
From Him all blessings flow,
Peace, truth and righteousness comes from above,
Deep in our hearts they grow;
The world is progressing, aye, slow but sure,
Time’s ever on the wing;
A new day is dawning, born to endure,
Love, truth and peace will bring.
Love ruleth ever and all men will be,
Of one vast brotherhood,
Kingdoms are tot’ring far over the sea,
Yes, crumbling as they should,
God will be apparent the God of love,
All will know He is King,
The rule of right like the carrier dove
A message sweet will bring.
