VERSES ON TEXTS: CANT. 5, 16 by FRANCES RIDLEY HAVERGAL

First Line: THERE IS ONE, SO FAIR, SO BRIGHT
Last Line: BEFORE THE RISING DAYSTAR'S EARLIEST RAY.
Subject(s): GOD;

THERE is One, so fair, so bright,
So good, so gracious! Love, and Life, and Light,
Are His rich titles. Oh, for Him I long,
To be my Hope, my Joy, my Strength, my Song!
Earth's shadow melts in conquering light away
Before the rising Daystar's earliest ray.
