Where is thy glory oh child
divine,
Is it jewels or gilt abode,
Or is it the touch
Of a steadfast foot
On a straight and a narrow road?
Where is thy place, oh thou mortal soul,
Is it death ‘neath sod and sand,
Or does it yet stretch
Past mankind’s dull gaze
To a bright and celestial land?
How far can you reach, oh holy child
Through this life’s soul-blinding glare?
Can you grasp and touch
He who gave His all
To save you, and to bring you there.
Can you choose this day, with freedom’s choice,
The path with the iron rod,
Set mind to the Word,
And heart to the task,
And walk on to the throne of God?
