Consolation

MRS. NELLIE C. BROWN

SOMETIMES, when temptations harass us, And sorrows seem hard to bear, And we almost sink beneath it, This load of sin and care, The thought will rise within us, “If I were only a flower, No sorrow could ever find me, Temptations have no power.”
But then comes the consolation: The “overcomer” is blest, And if we had no temptations, We ne’er should enjoy the rest That to the victorious is promised When all of our warfare is o’er. Then let us walk firmly and bravely, And wish we were flowers no more.
