THE PEACE OF GOD.

By Eliza H. Morton

Adown the mountain far away, A tiny stream there flows, And dashing on with hasty speed, It wider, deeper grows.
Until it glides in wondrous might Over the quiet land, And lo! its waters, pure and bright, Cover the shining sand.
So like a river vast and grand The peace of God doth flow, But richer, sweeter, is the love, The saints are yet to know.
And grander, higher, is the life That springs from Christ the Head, And fuller, freer, is the stream, By living fountains fed.
The fleeting sands of life are hid And sheltered by the cross; The heart that's fixed on things above Looks not at earthly dross.
O peace serene! O rest complete! O growth in grace divine! O may that joy, that love, that bliss, Forever, Lord, be mine!
ELIZA H. MORTON.
