He Walked With God

He "walked with God!" Could grander words
      be written?
Not much of what he thought or said is
      told;
Not where or what he wrought is even
      mentioned;
He " walked with God" ---- brief words of
      fadeless gold!
How many words were succored on his
      journey---
Helped by his words, or prayers, we may
      not know;
Still, this we read--- words of excelling
      grandeur---
He " walked with God," while yet he
      walked below.
And, after years, long years, of such blest
      walking,
One day he walked, then was not, God
      said " come!
Come from the scene of weary sin stained
      sadness!
Come to the fuller fellowship of home!"
Such be the tribute of thy pilgrim journey
When life's last mile thy feet have bravely
      trod---
When thou hast gone to all that there awaits
      thee,
This simple epitaph--- " He walked with God!"
