The Day the Sons of God Shall Stand Revealed.
By Flora E. Yerkin
A LITTLE while—and Earth will laugh with gladness;
A little while—and all her groans will cease.
Creation will cast off sin's heavy thraldom,
And earth and man will know a sweet release—
A perfect rest. Long years has Earth been filled with blood and mourning;
Has waited long for man to see God's ways;
Her barren wastes, made bare by man's transgression,
Will mingle with the sons of men in praise,
The day the sons of God shall stand revealed. A little while—and loyal hearts made perfect,
Will rest with God in viewing work complete.
A little while—and unbelief of ages
Will know the value of the mercy-seat.
Hail, glorious day! Creation will again be clothed in beauty;
Her cries have reached the throne, and God will hear;
And he within whose heart is found perfection,
Will in a perfect robe of light appear
The day the sons of God shall stand revealed. 'Tis almost here—the day of God's revealing;
The day for which the Son of God was sent.
God's everlasting purpose knows no failing;
Shall Wisdom fall 'neath traitor's vile intent?
His purpose lives! For even now we're sons—tho not appearing;
(God only knows the battles fought and won),
And all who sought the wisdom of the Father,
In that glad day will hear from Him, "Well done;"
That day the sons of God shall stand revealed.
