Principles and Practices - December 1

REST COMES AT LENGTH

Rest comes at length; though life be long and dreary;
The day must dawn, and darksome night be past;
All journeys end in welcomes to the weary,
And Heaven, the heart's true home, will come at last.
Angels of Jesus,
Angels of light,
Singing to welcome
The pilgrims of the night!

-Faber.
