No Other

By Nancy Rebecca Campbell Glass

Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved. Acts 4:12. Swiftly we float upon time's tide Adown the stream of years. Sometimes past hills of joy we glide, Sometimes through vales of tears. Age follows youth, which, ere we know, Has vanished like a dream, And takes its glamour from the glow Of mem'ry's silvery gleam. There is no halt; and more and more There seems an open sea Reaching us with its ceaseless roar It is eternity. There is one Pilot that we need, One who can safely steer, One who at heaven's court can plead, And all our journey cheer. 'Tis Jesus Christ; and all who see In him the truth, the way, Are in possession of the key To heaven's eternal day.
