RICH IN THE LORD.

God draws a cloud over each gleaming morn— Would you ask why? It is because all noblest things are born In agony.
Only upon some cross of pain and woe God’s Son may lie; Each soul redeemed from self and sin must know Its Calvary.
Yet we should crave neither for joy nor grief; God chooses best; He only knows our sick soul’s best relief, And gives us rest.
More than our feeble hearts can ever pine For holiness, That Father, in His tenderness divine, Yearneth to bless.
He never sends a joy not meant in love, Still less a pain; Our gratitude the sunlight falls to prove, Our faith, the rain.
—Anon.
