Explore "The Pure in Heart Shall See God" by Frances Ellen Watkins Harper on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
They shall see Him in the crimson flush / Of morning's early light, / In the drapery of sunset, / Around the couch of night.
When the clouds drop down their fatness, / In late and early rain, / They shall see His glorious footprints / On valley, hill and plain.
They shall see Him when the cyclone / Breathes terror through the land; / They shall see Him 'mid the murmurs / Of zephyrs soft and bland.
They shall see Him when the lips of health, / Breathe vigor through each nerve, / When pestilence clasps hands with death, / His purposes to serve.
They shall see Him when the trembling earth / Is rocking to and fro; / They shall see Him in the order / The seasons come and go.
They shall see Him when the storms of war / Sweep wildly through the land; / When peace descends like gentle dew / They still shall see His hand.
They shall see Him in the city / Of gems and pearls of light, / They shall see Him in his beauty, / And walk with Him in white.
To living founts their feet shall tend, / And Christ shall be their guide, / Beloved of God, their rest shall be / In safety by His side.
