THE ETERNAL YEARS. |
|||
|
How shalt thou bear the Cross that now
So dread a weight appears ? Keep quietly to Cod, and think
Upon the Eternal Years.
 |
|||
|
Austerity is little help, Although it somewhat cheers; Thine oil of gladness is the thought Of the Eternal Years. |
|||
|
Set hours and written rule are good, Long prayer can lay our fears: But it is better calm for thee To count the Eternal Years, |
|||
|
Rites are as balm unto the eyes,
God's word unto the ears : But He will have thee rather brood
Upon the Eternal Years. |
