THE FLOWERS OF FAITH.

By Eliza H. Morton

BY ELIZA H. MORTON.

ALONG the paths of earth life Are roses bright and fair, And blossoms, rich with perfume, Are waving in the air.

And there are also briars And thorns along the way. 'Tis best to shun the brambles, And cull the flowers each day.

God's promises are flowers Which grow on every hand; Our sins are thorns and briars In number like the sand.

God's love will surely cover The past, tho' dark as night, Then grasp the precious promise And walk within the light.

The thorns but wound and grieve us, To gather them is wrong, But flowers of faith give comfort, And waken joyous song.
