Gain from Loss...

“There is no gain but by a loss,

You cannot save but by a cross

The grain of wheat to multiply

Must fall into the ground and die

Wherever you ripe fields behold,

Waving to God their sheaves of gold,

Be sure some grain of wheat has died,

Some soul has there been crucified;

Someone has wrestled, wept, and prayed,

And fought hells legions undismayed”
