Not just falling short
A little here and there
There’s failure along the line
Close to everywhere
Name a field of endeavor
That is thriving, wholly true
A myth is growing over
Choking the way through
Light is waxing soft
Let your heart faint, not
Press on towards the mark
Your soul as yet bought
For it was not a bargain
Gift, that is true
Enter Christ’s glory
Rest beyond the blue
