THE TRIUMPH OF TRUTH.
The light is breaking! the world is wakingFrom its long sleep of dark despair,And the glad morning is surely dawning,When truth shall triumph everywhere.For long, long ages, both seers and sages,Have prophesied of a glad day,When doubt and terror and every error,Before Truth’s light should fade away.And when the angels with glad evangelsShould come to mortals here below,And ope the portals to joys immortal,That thus earth’s sorrowing ones might know,—That life eternal, and joys supernal,Await them in the coming years.The full fruition of this condition,When smiles shall take the place of tears.Then do not borrow one care or sorrow;Let not one doubt or fear assail;Press onward ever—forgetting neverThat Truth and Right will sure prevail.With joy and gladness, and not in sadness,Look to the life beyond the tomb.O’er all victorious, it shall be gloriousAs sunlight, after night of gloom.
