IN HIS VINEYARD.

There is never a way so narrow or short, But the Master's work is there; There is something to do for his dear sake, Or something to calmly bear.
There are trials to meet with Christian faith, And duties with Christian grace; And there's Christian sweetness to every one, To be given in every place.
Their working days are never so hard Who find in Christ a stay; And days of darkness are days of light, When Jesus leads the way.
And the waiting days of those who hope, Are days of quietness; And the praying days of those who trust, Are days of perfect peace.
There are flow'rets down in the valley low, And over the mountain side, Which were never praised by a human voice, Nor by human eyes descried.
Yet as sweet as the breath of the royal rose, Is the perfume they exhale; And why they bloom and where they bloom, The good Lord knoweth well.
—Whispers of Peace.
