[The future! who may lift the veil]
‘The righteous, and the wise, and their works, are in the hand of God.’
—Eccles, ix. 1.
The future! who may lift the veil
And read its yet unwritten tale?
But sorrow and joy alike we leave
In the Hand that doeth all things well,
And calmly from that Hand receive
All that each coming year may tell.
We would not ask of life or death,
It shall be as the Master saith.
