HE CARETH FOR THEE.

WHAT can it mean? Is it ought to Him That the nights are long and the days are dim? Can He be touched by the griefs I bear, Which sadden the heart and whiten the hair? Around His throne are eternal calms, And strong, glad music of happy psalms- And bliss unruffled by any strife; How can He care for my poor life?
When shadows hang o’er me the whole day long, And my spirit is bowed with shame and wrong; When I am not good, and the deeper shade Of conscious sin makes my heart afraid, And the busy world has too much to do To stay in its course to help me through, And I long for a Saviour, can it be That the God of the universe cares for me?
O wonderful story of deathless love! Each child is dear to that Heart above; He fights for me when I can not fight; He comforts me in the gloom of night; He lifts the burden, for He is strong; He stills the sigh, and awakens the song; The sorrow that bowed me down He bears, And loves and pardons, because He cares. —Anon.
