Not in Vain

Oh what names that in Christ still remain

Written on forgotten page

Spoken only in vaguely haze

The tongues can verily say

What place that hold their way

Is it but a vain dismay?

Has the flame won its way?

Nay the truth will say

For time is but a light that fades

Eternity will say which way

For but without distain

Names will remain

For the light that this far reflects

Historic steps that they kept

Words that have meet

Life’s only intent

Still in glory they remain

With one above who’s name

Is above any name that can remain

Forgotten not only in the words that say

In the word that stay the same

White robes that say the same

Forgot not is not in vain
