SATISFIED

By O. E. Hart

Oh! He wakes me from my dreaming To behold him face to face; And he saves and keeps me ever With the fullness of his grace. And he does not keep me waiting Till I reach the home above, But he satisfies me daily With the sweetness of his love.
In the stillness and the darkness, When no human friend is near, Oft he comes to soothe and comfort— Wipes away the falling tear. And he never disappoints me When I seek the quiet place; But he spreads a royal banquet, And reveals his smiling face.
Though my way leads o'er the hilltops With the sunshine beaming fair, And the rarest flowers, nodding, Breathe a welcome everywhere; Or adown the lonely valley With the shadows falling drear, Still he satisfies me fully, For I feel his presence near.
— O. E. Hart, in N. Y. Observer.
