Classic Poem

It's wonderful, so wonderful,
To be a child of God,
And walk the Christian path of life
O'er which the saints have trod;
To have God's grace down in our soul
That keeps us kind and sweet,
And helps us bless our loved ones dear
And those we chance to meet.

It's wonderful to love mankind —
No hatred in our heart —
With no desire to put men down
By word and fiery dart;
But reaching forth a hand to lift
We help the fallen rise,
And seek the Lord for saving grace
Who clears his mortal skies.

It's wonderful to sing and pray
While others fret and frown,
And feel God's peace within our heart
And heaven smiling down;
To know we have the victory
O'er sins that grip the world;
That we are soldiers for our Lord
Beneath His flag unfurled.
