What Will It Matter?

“All things work together for good to them that love God.” Rom. 8:28.
What will it matter, by and by, Whether my path below was bright, Whether it wound through dark or light, Under a gray or golden sky, When I look back on it by and by?
What will it matter, by and by, Whether, unhelped, I toiled alone, Dashing my foot against a stone, Missing, perhaps, the angel nigh, Bidding me think of the by and by?
What will it matter? Naught, if I Only am sure the way I’ve trod, Gloomy or gladdened, leads to God; Questioning not of How, or Why, If I but gaze on him by and by.
What will it matter? What the sigh, If, in my fear of slip or fall, Closely I’ve clung to Christ through all, Mindless how rough the path might lie, Since he will comfort me by and by?
