ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD.
By Minnie Embree
If the angels, encamping around us,
Deliver when danger is near,
Why falter when evils surround us?
But rather press on without fear. Shall we stop with the Red Sea before us,
Or follow the Word of God through?
If the pillar of cloud is still o'er us,
The Jordan will open up, too. In case we are sold by our brothers,
God with us to Egypt will go.
If thrown in the fire with two others,
The "Form of the Fourth" we shall know. If the night we must spend with the lions,
By angels their mouths will be sealed;
If in faith we refuse the king's viands,
Better food has our Father revealed. Tho feeling alone and forsaken,
We pillow our heads on a stone,
He, who knows of the course we have taken,
Will show us the way to His throne. Tho hunger severe may appal us,
The ravens can bring us our food;
Let us know that, whate'er may befall us,
"All things work together for good."
