Religion

A life is before thee which cannot decay

by Frances Ridley Havergal 1836–1879

From Loyal Responses

Religion

A life is before thee which cannot decay,
A glimpse and an echo are given to-day
Of glory and music not far away.
Take the bliss that is offered thee,
And thou shalt be
Safe and blest for aye.
