A Poem from "Studies in the Scriptures"

Found this really delightful poem whilst browsing through Studies in the Scriptures. Just thought I might share it.

The Unsealed Mystery

Life's unsealed mystery soon shall say
What joy hath God in this poor clay,
Formed by his hand with potent skill,
Stamped with his image--mind and will;
Born not to die--no, a second birth
Succeeds the sentence--"earth to earth."
For One of all the mighty host,
Who lived and died and suffered most,
Arose, and proved God's great design--
That future, therefore, yours and mine.
His Word discloses this new ray
Of light, for guidance on our way;
Based now on faith, but sure as sight,
Dispelling these dark clouds of night:
The doubt, the dread, the trembling fear,
The thoughts that marred our blessings here.

Now, Lord, these minds, whose bolder sway
Rejects the dogmas of today,
Taught by jarring sects and schools,
Fettering reason with their rules,
May seek, and know Thee as Thou art,
Our place with Thee, and then the part
We play in this stupendous plan,
Creator Infinite, and man.
Uplifts the veil, revealing quite
To those who walk in heaven's light
The glorious mystery of His throne
Hidden from ages, now made known.
