DEDICATED TO THE DETROIT WHITE CROSS REFORM CLUB. UP above the clouds and darkness, Up above the blinding mist, Lo! the cross so white is lifted- To the one whose life is smitten By the curse whose end is death, Lives are blasted; men are dying; Look upon this holy symbol Take new heart, and hope, and life! From his throne the pitying Savior Bitterest agony he suffered— 224 |
