THE ANGEL OF PATIENCE.
To weary hearts aud m burning homes
Gods meekest angel gently comes;
No power has He TO Danish pain
Or give US back our lost again;
And yet In tenderest love, our dear,
Our Heavenly Father sends Him here.
There's quiet in that angels glances,
There's rect in His still counenance,
lie mocks no grief with idle cheer,
Nor wounds with words the mourners ears;
What ills and woes He may not cure
He kindly trains u TO endure
Angel Of Patience, sent to calm
Our feyersh brows with cooling balm
To lay the storms OF hope and fear
And reconcile LIES smile and tear;
The lhrobs of wounded pride TO still
And make our own our Fathers will
Oh thou who mOurnest on thy way
With longing heart for close OF day,
lie walks with thee, that angel kind,
And gently whispers Be resigned. -
Bear up, bear on the end shall tell
The dear Lord dOeth all things we'll"
