The Christian’s Hope

by Cora C. Bass 1868–1928

From Songs for All Seasons, and Other Poems (1901)

Religion

We as Christians, have much to gain, from faith, obedience, patience,
mercy, love.

We suffer, that we may attain eternal bliss. No trusting soul shall fail
of its reward.

Friends who were with us yesterday are gone to-day. We pray. We weep. At
the feet of Jesus comfort comes to us.

We remember what our Saviour has done for us and look beyond the
present, rejoicing in the glory which shall be revealed.

When things temporal have passed away, we go home to God, to abide
forever.
