ANXIETY.

By Harriet McEwen Kimball

FAINT hearts, who toil and pray, but doubt If God will grant! Theirs is the harvest who in trust Do sow and plant, Nor ponder whether it will be Or full or scant.
If once it fail, with diligence They sow again. Another year will surely bring The needed rain, The needed sun, to fill the fields With fuller grain!
The Lord of love may hear as tho He heard us not; But never yet the prayer of faith Hath He forgot; Some day His word will fruitful make Each waiting spot.
We rise betimes, as if our zeal That word could speed; We eat the bread of carefulness, That can not feed; Delaying rest, we only add Sore need to need.
O, happy they who quietly Anticipate The blessing He will shower down Or soon or late! They toil, they pray, aright; their faith His will can wait. —Harriet McEwen Kimball.
