Many thanks to Saija of Thro' A Glass Darkly for this incredible

Afraid? Of What?
To feel the spirit's glad release?
To pass from pain to perfect peace,
The strife and strain of life to cease?
Afraid -- of that?
...
Afraid? Of What?
Afraid to see the Savior's face?
To hear His welcome, and to trace
The glory gleam from wounds of grace?
Afraid -- of that?
...
Afraid? Of What?
A flash - a crash - a pierced heart!
Barkness - light - O heaven's art!
Each wound of His a counterpart!
Afraid -- of that?
...
Afraid? Of What?
To do by death what life could not?
Baptize with blood a stony plot
Till souls shall blossom from the spot?
Afraid -- of that?
...
~ E.H. Hamilton
