And the whole world send back the song
Which now the angels sing.

Life is a voyage. The winds of life come strong
From every point; yet each will speed thy course along,
If thou with steady hand when tempests blow
Canst keep thy course aright and never once let go.

The hoary centuries are full of Him; the echoes of His sweet voice are heard today; His love has perfumed the past eighteen hundred years, and He lives today, as the Head of His church; He lives today, the object of the warmest adoration, the most passionate love, for whom millions would die this very hour. Empires have fallen, thrones have crumbled; but Jesus lives, His empire extending every day, His throne gaining new trophies of His grace.

Abbott Eliot Kittredge
