OVER IT ALL.

OVER it all—the care and the fret, The mixture of joy and the sad regret, The anxious thought and the burdened heart, The bitter loss and the cruel smart— Over it all—this puzzling dream— His glad love shines with holy beam.

Over it all—the hope and the fear, The struggle for right, when wrong is near, The kind intent, tho the words be cold, The prayer for patience and love's sweet hold— Over it all His justice lies, Unchanged by sudden or dark surprise.

Over it all—the day and the night— The hours of dark, and the seasons of light, Mistakes and blunders and faults and all, The pitiful cries from those who fall— His kindness waits to help and bless With a Father's touch of tenderness. —Selected.
