“Whom the Lord loveth He chasteneth.”
“One sorrow more? I thought the tale complete.”—
He bore amiss who grudges what he bore:
Stretch out thy hands and urge thy feet to meet
One sorrow more.
He bore amiss who grudges what he bore:
Stretch out thy hands and urge thy feet to meet
One sorrow more.
Yea, make thy count for two or three or four:
The kind Physician will not slack to treat
His patient while there's rankling in the sore.
The kind Physician will not slack to treat
His patient while there's rankling in the sore.
328
Bear up in anguish, ease will yet be sweet;
Bear up all day, for night has rest in store:
Christ bears thy burden with thee, rise and greet
One sorrow more.
Bear up all day, for night has rest in store:
Christ bears thy burden with thee, rise and greet
One sorrow more.
