THE JOY OF GOD.

THE JOY OF UOIJ
I thank Thee too that Thou hast made
Joy TO abound;
So many gentle thoughts and deeds
Circling us round
That in the darkest spot of earth
Some love is found.
| thank Thee more that all our JOY
Is touched with PAIN
That shadows fall on brightest hours,
That thorns remain;
So that earth's bliss may be our guide.
And not our chain.
For Thou. Who knowest. Lord, how soon
Our weak heart Clings,
Hast given us lows tender and true,
But all with wings
So that We see. cleaning on high
