GOD’S CHOICE.

By J. Jackson

BY J. JACKSON.

THAT cross, O Lord, not this! This is so hard to bear; I can not, now, O Lord! Lo, there Is one beyond, methinks, that Thou Couldst lay upon thy servant now, And I should find it not amiss! O Lord, I pray, that cross, not this!

This cross, my child, not that; Think not that blinded thou Canst tell which cross is fittest now. The one that lies beyond thee there Is heavier than it seems to bear. This one thou need’st not murmur at— This cross, my child, not that!
