Bethel

By P. M. MacDonald

I went with all my thoughts on gain; How gather gold? how win applause? Nor any weight of work, nor strain, Could drive me to another cause.
But when, sore-sick, I laid me down, Like some lone wanderer in the dark, Whose pillow is without the town On hills where hungry night-wolves bark,
Kind Heaven had chance to speak to me Above the roaring of my veins, And angels came in ministry To help me bear my cruel pains.
O, then I found another cause, And learned to walk another way; My shining mark is heaven’s applause, And pain-filled nights have changed to day.
—P. M. MacDonald.
