A Thread of Gold

SPIN cheerfully, Not tearfully, Though wearily you plod; Spin carefully, Spin prayerfully, But leave the thread to God. The shuttles of his purpose move To carry out his own design; Seek not too soon to disapprove His work, nor yet assign Dark motives when with silent dread You view each somber fold; For, lo, within each darker thread There gleams a thread of gold.
Spin cheerfully, Not tearfully, He knows the way you plod; Spin carefully, Spin prayerfully, But leave the thread to God.
— Pittsburg Christian Advocate.
