Compensation

By Frances Ridley Havergal

Eccl. 8:14

Hush! O, hush! for the Father knows what thou knowest not, The need and the thorn and the shadow linked with the fairest lot; Knows the wisest exemption from many an unseen snare, Knows what will keep thee nearest, knows what thou couldst not bear.

Hush! O, hush! for the Father, whose ways are true and just, Knoweth and careth and loveth, and waits for thy perfect trust; The cup He is slowly filling shall soon be full to the brim, And infinite compensations forever be found in Him.

Hush! O, hush! for the Father hath fulness of joy in store, Treasures of power and wisdom, and pleasures forevermore; Blessing and honor and glory, endless infinite bliss;— Child of His love and His choice, O, canst thou not wait for this?
