HE UNDERSTANDS.

By Margaret Anderson

THERE is naught so hard in your life, dear, But that you can leave it with Him; Just tell to Him all that comes to you Of trouble and sorrow and sin.

Then, leaving it all in His hands, dear, For, O, He ever is true! And what you can't tell to another He will hear—and understand, too.

For He has a listening ear, dear, And He hears whenever you call; Be it loud or ever so gentle, Yet He hears and He knows it all.

So, leaving it all in His hands, dear, The sorrow for language too deep, Don't carry the burden with you, dear, He bore it up Calvary's steep.

Then make the most of your life, dear; For it all belongs to Him; Some day you'll know the reason Why the trials so hard have been.

They are sent to you here below, dear, But He bids you lay them down— Then joy shall be your portion, And jewels will deck your crown.

Then ever be faithful and true, dear, And know, where'er you may be, You are just where He would have you; Then trust, and His love you will see. MARGARET ANDERSON.
