LOOK ABOVE.

If in the hurrying tide of strife, The weary, toiling march of life, Some angry hand with passion rife, Some cruel foe, Deal on thy shrinking heart a blow— Then smile and look above, For God is love.
Or harsher yet if some dear lip Should let the careless answer slip, In the dear heart its fierce tongue dip Harsher than foe, And deal thy loving heart the blow, Then smile and look above, For God is love.
And if the world seems dark and drear, Thou long'st to feel thy rest is near,— Lay down thy robe of doubt and fear, Trust thou in God, And by thy dark road bravely trod, Smile thou and look above, For God is love.
