Through Our Wintry Strife

By Worthie Harris Holden

WORTHIE HARRIS HOLDEN
THE rain froze where it fell, And borne down by their icy weight The trees were torn to compensate, As severed boughs could tell.
The sun shone fervently, But over many a hill and dale The storm had blazed its wondrous trail Of shattered symmetry.
Methought we do not see How different God's sovereign will Through rain and tempest to fulfil His purpose constantly;
For through our wintry strife, By Christ a perfect tree is wrought For man who hath His pruning sought To yield a godly life.
Portland, Oregon.
