ALL THINGS FOR GOOD.

By Eliza H. Morton

BY ELIZA H. MORTON.

ALL things together work For my best good. What now seems strange and dark If understood Would make my heart strings throb With joy and praise, For God's own hand of love Marks out my ways.

He sees what my dull eyes Cannot discern. He knows what I with pain, Perchance, must learn. He guides, and all things work By his own will. Though disappointments come, I'll praise him still.

And praising him my faith Will soon increase. Thank God, from anxious care There is release. I gave my all to Christ Long, long ago; 'Tis he who works, not I, Come weal or woe.

Though all my plans should fail, And I not see One step ahead, yet God Is leading me, And where he saith, I'll go With willing feet, Yea, go by faith, to find A blessing sweet.
