THE SYROPHENICIAN.
“Great is thy faith.”
Content, she takes the lowest place.
He knows what strain her faith will bear;
Low in the valleys flows His grace,
He does but gently lead her there.
He knows what strain her faith will bear;
Low in the valleys flows His grace,
He does but gently lead her there.
Then in the depths to her He comes,
And meets her nothing with His all.
Creation lives upon the crumbs
Which from that Master's table fall;
And meets her nothing with His all.
Creation lives upon the crumbs
Which from that Master's table fall;
But thou, O faith, not thus art fed!
For thee the heavenly homes are built;
Thy portion is the children's bread,
And “Be it to thee as thou wilt.”
For thee the heavenly homes are built;
Thy portion is the children's bread,
And “Be it to thee as thou wilt.”
