Explore "The New Century" by Mary Baker Eddy on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
/ Thou God-crowned, patient century, / Thine hour hath come! Eternity / Draws nigh -- and, beckoning from above, / One hundred years, aflame with Love, / Again shall bid old earth good-by -- / And, lo, the light! far heaven is nigh! / New themes seraphic, Life divine, / And bliss that wipes the tears of time / Away, will enter, when they may, / And bask in one eternal day.
/ 'Tis writ on earth, on leaf and flower: / Love hath one race, one realm, one power. / Dear God! how great, how good Thou art / To heal humanity's sore heart; / To probe the wound, then pour the balm -- / A life perfected, strong and calm. / The dark domain of pain and sin / Surrenders -- Love doth enter in, / And peace is won, and lost is vice: / Right reigns, and blood was not its price.
