The Upward Path
Believe not those who say,
The upward path is smooth;
Lest thou shouldst stumble in the way,
And faint before the truth.
It is the only road
Unto the realms of joy;
But he who seeks that blest abode
Must all his powers employ.
To labor and to love,
To pardon and endure,
To lift thy heart to God above,
And keep thy conscience pure,—
Be this thy constant aim,
Thy hope, thy chief delight;
What matter who should whisper blame,
Or who should scorn or slight,
If but thy God approve,
And if, within thy breast,
Thou feel the comfort of his love,
The earnest of his rest?
