Faith, Hope, Love.Shines on, invisible to man by day, But when the darkness comes, its welcome ]ight Brings Hope to human hearts in nature's night; It gives light freely, as the One above Bestows good gifts to man, and this is Love. Faith is a flower springing from the sod, With face turned ever toward the light of God; When beaten to the earth by storm and rain, 'Tis Hope that lifts it toward the sun again; It fills its mission if it but imparts A Love of beauty unto human hearts. Faith is a bird that on unfettered wings Mounts upward ever and exultant sings; While Hope beams brightly from its upturned eye, In quest of visions that beyond it lie; Its flight is tireless till in realms above It nestles in the eternal heart of Love. __A. A. B. Cavaness. |
