THE PATH OF THE JUST.

By Thomas R. Williamson

BY THOMAS R. WILLIAMSON.
The path of the just shines more and more “Unto the perfect day.” His weary limbs halt on this earthly shore, And the fog-bank of death hangs heavily o’er The view of his onward way.
The path of the just shines more and more; Night blurs the sun from sight; Against him earth’s troubles expend their force, All hindering woes cannot darken his course; He walks in a sheen of light.
The path of the just shines more and more; Glintings of glory bloom Through the fog, like joys of the angels brought, Like comforting beams through the dreariness caught From the distant lamp of home.
The path of the just shines more and more. Refulgent streams of light Enliven the gloom ’round his faithful feet, Encourage his progress with promises sweet Of God’s land almost in sight.
The path of the just shines more and more; Untroubled splendors play; Forever the day-star expels the gloom; Eternity’s children caught up from the tomb Inherit God’s perfect day.
