ONLY WAIT.

By Mrs. L. D. Avery-Stuttle

BY MRS. L. D. AVERY-STUTTLE.

ONLY to follow where He leads, And that is all; Only to drink the cup He gives, Though bitterest gall; Only to say, "Thy will be done, And thine alone, Almighty One;" Though bruised and faint, to journey on, Nor halt, nor fall.

Only this lesson I must learn,— To quiet wait, Though nerve and heart and spirit burn For conflicts great,— Only to wait, and quiet say, "If Thou wilt guide my feet to-day, I will not murmur on the way, Nor mourn my fate."

I know the great Refiner sits Beside the flame; And, oh, his tender love for me Is e'er the same! Yes, my Refiner sits beside The great door of the furnace wide, And he will never leave my side— Blest be his name.
