WHOM THE WORLD LOVETH.

WHOM THE LORD LOVETH.
OT always of the favored ones and gay,On whom the world smiles with indulgent eyes,—
Who have not learned the depths of tears and sighs,—
Not always those whom men love most are they
Whom the Lord loveth!
Bending beneath the weight of griefs and woes,
I see a pilgrim, pale with earnest thought,
Weighed down by sorrows which the world knows not,
Unnoticed and alone, yet one of those
Whom the Lord loveth.
I see a pilgrim, pale with earnest thought,
Weighed down by sorrows which the world knows not,
Unnoticed and alone, yet one of those
Whom the Lord loveth.
Wealth, glory, worldly pride, aside he threw,
For the deep faith within him,—far too strong
To brook divided powers;—untired, life-long,
Has been his labor for the Pure and True,—
Whom the Lord loveth.
