PEACE.

By Elsie Dundee

How blest the heart that knows thy peace— The peace which floweth as a river; So calm, so clear, it ne'er shall cease, But, broad and deep, flow on forever.

What grief and fear and venomed sting Thy world-tost children often carry! The burden to thy feet they bring, But leave it only while they tarry.

“He careth for you.” O my Lord, Thou art my God—there's none above thee; All things, according to thy word, Shall work for good to them that love thee.

Then let me cast on thee my care; Dwell in thy smile when days are dreary; Trust thee through all, howe'er it fare; Rest in thine arms when faint and weary.

But, more than all, grant me the grace To do thy will, O gracious Giver; Then may I hope to know thy peace— The peace which floweth as a river. —Elsie Dundee, in Presbyterian.
