GOD'S WAY.
"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, saith the Lord."
I SAID, "The darkness shall content my soul;"
God said, " Let there be light."
I said, " The night shall see me reach my goal ;
Instead, came dawning bright.
I bared my head to meet the smiter's stroke ;
There came sweet dropping oil.
I waited, trembling, but the voice that spoke,
Said gently, " Cease thy toil."
I looked for evil, stern of face and pale ;
Came good, too fair to tell.
I leant on God when other joys did fail ;
He gave me these as well.
