GRATITUDE.

By Susan Birdsall Roberts

THANK God, thank God, He brought me low, And humbled all my pride; I thought indeed my heart was fixed On Christ the crucified.
But O, I found 'twas full of pride, And self-conceit, and sin; I sought Him much and long, and thought My earthly aims to win.
But O, I've found 'twas better far That I should fail to keep Earth's treasures, than recede from Him, And in my blindness sleep.
I thank Him for the discipline, That some would call severe; Ah! no, 'tis but the loving hand To draw His children near.
