THREE GOOD THINGS, by                    
First Line: I think I like that hour best
Last Line: Beauty, peace, and victory.
Subject(s): Life


I think I like that hour best
When sun is sinking in the west,
And fretful cares with day depart
And evening's quiet fills my heart;

Again I prize those moments most
When life draws up his rebel host,
Armed to crush me, wound me through,
And I face him, conquer, and subdue;

Or, when on lonely steeps of pain,
The struggle fruitless, watching vain,
A gleam of light breaks suddenly,
And I a touch of beauty see.

These three good things life holds for me,
Beauty, Peace, and Victory.
