May Her Reward Be Great
May
her reward be great
Who
once had sought to rate
But
gave up all in trade to gain
Philippians
3:8.
May
her reward be great
Who
shunned the world’s sweet bait
And
even saw the lie in fruit
Which
other Christians ate.
May
her reward be great
Who
through the narrow gate
Did
press and plead and pray for souls
And
changed eternal fate.
May
her reward be great
Who
smell of sin did hate
And
rang the anti-siren bell
To
see her men sail straight.
May
her reward be great
Who
often stayed up late
With
words for weary wanderers
Reflecting
Jesus’ trait.
May
her reward be great
Who
trimmed her ship of freight
To
sail more speedy to the prize
Which
waits at heaven’s gate.
May
her reward be great
Who
on that joyous date
With
all earth’s pains forever past
Finds
in the Lamb her mate.
Mother’s Day, 2015
