The Goodness of God.

By Susan Birdsall Roberts

O THAT our lives were one sweet song, One anthem of continued praise To Him who bought us with His blood, And crowns with good our passing days!
What earthly potentate e'er gave His only well-beloved son An ignominious death to die For crimes that he had never done?
Good do we say?—Alas for words, For fitting words to speak His praise! We only know and see and feel The love that shines thru all His ways!
That love has crowned our every hour Since first we learned to lisp His name; A tender Father, merciful, To-day as yesterday the same. SUSAN BIRDSALL ROBERTS.
