Poems (Vadlan)/The Struggler

THE STRUGGLER
There's a way to go, but 'tis hard we know,'Tis the path that the Saviour trod;There's a hill to climb, but in God's good time,We will reach the top-most sod.
There's a struggle to win in this world of sin,'Tis Temptation's well-worn way:There's a hope to gain in the Father's name,That will last every coming day.
Lifted by faith, tho the trials surround,Traveling thro' troubles that come:When with the dear Lord in Heaven we re found,Let us hear the glad tidings. "Well done!"
