The Goal
I have found joy,Surcease from sorrow,From qualms for todayAnd fears for tomorrow.
I have found love,Sifted of pain,Of life's harsh goadingAnd worldly disdain.
I have found peace,Still-borne from grief,From soul's bitter mockingAnd heart's unbelief.
Now may I rest,Soul-glad and free,For Lord, in the travail,I have found Thee.
