The Shining Light

A year ago the gold light
Sweet morning made for me ;
A tender and untold light,
Like music on the sea.
Light and music twining
In melodious glory,
A rare and radiant shining
On my changing story.

To-day the golden sunlight
Is full and broad and strong ;
The glory of the One light
Must overflow in song ;
Song that floweth ever,
Sweeter every day,
Song whose echoes never,
Never die away.

How shall the light be clearer
That is so bright to-day ?
How shall the hope be dearer
That pours such joyous ray ?
I am only waiting
For the answer golden,
What faith is antedating
Shall not be withholden.
