All does not yet gleam in glory (Martin Luther)

 This life therefore is not righteousness, 

but growth in righteousness, 

not health but healing, 

not being but becoming, 

not rest, but exercise. 

We are not yet 

what we shall be, 

but we are growing toward it. 

The process is not finished 

but it is going on. 

This is not the end 

but it is the road. 

All does not yet gleam in glory, 

but all is being purified. 

--Martin Luther
