HEAVEN OVER ALL.

How many hours of patient toil Our faithfulness to test? How many burdens yet to bear Before the hands may rest? How many crosses ere they lie Calm folded on the breast? Yet toil and burden, cross and rod, Divinest love hath blessed.
How fierce the battle ere we win The conqueror’s robe and palm! How sharp the wounds before they feel The healing drops of balm! How loud the Babel sounds of strife Before the evening psalm! And yet o’er all the heaven extends Its soundless deeps of calm. —Selected.
