THE GOAL Heart-Friend God strech down Thy loving hand, Close clasp my own in Thine. I am bewildered in the darkness, And the rugged way is steep. I only know afar there lies a dazzling summit The Goal––our Home–– Where we shall see Thee face to face at last, Dear Christ, our God. And so I climb and fall; and rise and climb again, –And so on–and on. But wilt Thou clasp my up-reached hand. O Heart-Friend God! Throughout the velvet darkness and silence of the night I hear, I feel i know Thy answer–"Yes."– O Christ, Thy Love of God Made visible to man.
