The Joy of the Cross

God draws a cloud over each gleaming morn: Would we ask why? It is because all noblest things are born in agony.
Only upon some cross of pain or woe God’s Son may lie; Each soul redeemed from self and sin must know Its Calvary.
Yet we must crave for neither joy nor grief, God chooses best: He only knows our sick soul’s best relief, And gives us rest.
For neither life, nor death, nor things below, Nor things above, Shall ever sever us, that we should go From his great love.
