FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTH.

By Mrs. L. D. Avery-Stuttle

BY MRS. L. D. AVERY-STUTTLE.
FROM strength to strength so let me go; Life's future days I would not know— Or dark or light—'tis one to me, While the upholding Hand I see; He knoweth whether storm or sun Shall ripe the grains; His will be done.
From strength to strength; thus, I am told, Sages have walked in days of old, It was not theirs to question why The road that led them to the sky Was sore beset on every side By adverse fate, by wind and tide.
It was not theirs, nor is it mine, To murmur, question, or repine. Nay, but from strength to strength I'll go To battle with the wily foe, For I shall conquer him at length If I but go from strength to strength.
And when the tasks of life are done, Like weary child at set of sun I'll lay me down in sweet repose, Nor trembling though the tempest blows; I'll hide me from earth's rude alarms, Safe in the everlasting arms.
