THE LOVELIGHT IN HIS EYES |
————————————————
—————
IN my mem’ry there’s
a picture,
In a frame of gold ‘tis placed,
And the years that
fast are fleeting
Not one
line have yet effaced;
Tis the
likeness of “that Servant,”
And fond memories
arise
Of his wise and
faithful service
And the lovelight in his eyes!
I have seen the smoke-wrapped
sunset
Sink
into a sea of blood,
And mirages in the
desert
‘Neath the sun’s
resplendent flood;
From the mast watched
livid lightning
Leap across the
tropic skies,
But their gleam had
not the splendor
Of the lovelight in his eyes!
Not the canopy of
starlight,
With the moon
appearing new,
Nor the
twilight dim and distant,
Fading to the deeper
blue,
Nor the summer’s
silver moonlight,
With its halo in the
skies,
E’er
could light the way of Heaven
Like the lovelight in his eyes!
