“FRET NOT THYSELF.”

By Phillips Brooks

The little sharp vexations, And the briers that catch and fret, Why not take all to the Helper Who has never failed us yet? Tell him about the heartache, And tell him the longings, too; Tell him the baffled purpose When we scarce know what to do; Then, leaving all our weakness With the One divinely strong, Forget that we bore the burden, And carry away the song. — Phillips Brooks.
