Our God

By Mrs. P. Alderman

MRS. P. ALDERMAN
OUR God is good. How sweet his promises! How full of blessing to his trusting ones, As if he could not say enough Of counsel, and of comfort, and of love! What kind reproofs! His hand Is stretched out still, Forbearing long, and loving yet More than a mother loves her son; And though a father may be e'er so kind, His kindness still excels. Not yet has length and depth been measured Of my Father's love. I see it in the power that resurrects The growing spring-time; I see it in the life that permeates my being; I see it in the sun's warm glinting; And O, the love that crowneth Calvary! Dost think to tell it with a mortal's pen? My soul, in silent awe wait on thy God; Ask him to gird with strength,— Strength to obey, and trust, and do Even as he hath said.
