God's Ways.
GOD'S WAYS .
HOAV feAV that from their youthful clay , Look on to Avhat their life may be , Painting the vision of the Avay In colours soft , and bright , and free ; HOAV feAv who to such paths have brought The hopes and dreams of early thought ! For God , through ways they haA'e not known ,
Will lead His OAvn . The eager hearts , the souls of fire Who pant and toil for God and man , And vieAv AA'ith eyes of keen desire , The upland way of toil and pain ;
Almost with scorn they think of rest , Of holy calm of tranquil breast ; But God , through Avays they haA'e not known ,
Will lead His OAVH . A lower task on them is laid , With love to make the labour light , And then their beauty they must shed , On quiet homes and lost to sight ;
Changed are their visions high and fair , Yet calm and still they labour there ; ' For God , through Ava 3 * s they haA'e not known ,
Will lead His OAATI . The gentle heart that thinks , with pain , It scarce can loAvliest tasks fufil , And if it dared its life to scan Would ask but pathway IOAV and still ;
Often such loAvby heart is brought To act with power beyond its thought ; For God , through Avays they have not knoAvn Will lead His own .
