! know as my life grows older,
And mine eyes have clearer sight,
That under each rank wrong somewhere
There lies the root OF right;
That each sorrow has its purpose,
BY the sorrowing oft unguessed;
But as sure as the sun brings morning,
Whatever is is best.
| know that each sinful action,
As sure the night brings shade,
9 somewhere some time punished,
Though the hour be long delayed.
i know that the soul is aided
Sometimes by the hearts unrest,
And to grow means often to suffer
hut whatever is is best
know there are no errors
In the great eternal plan,
And all things work together
For the final good OF man.
Aud | know when my soul speeds onward
In it's grand eternal quest,
! shall say, as | look back earthward,
Whatever is is best,
