To My Guest

By Ruth Sterry

RUTH STERRY
Lay down thy burden with thy robe, O friend! And slip into thy bed as in the arms Of Him who sendeth both the pain and cheer; Draw up thy covers as thou drawest o’er Thy sins the loving mercy of the Lord, And lay thee down to rest and sweet content. When thou awakest, then I pray thee wash Thy heart of sin and clothe thy soul in peace, In charity, in purity of mind, To hide thy grief behind a smiling face, And journey forth a blessing to the world!
