RESIGNATION

By L. D. Santee

God knows best; come joy or pain, If they lift me skyward and help me to gain A place with the saints as they walk in light, Where weeping and hoping are lost in sight; All will be well, if the way I've trod, Whether gloomy or joyous, leads to God. It matters little how or why, If it end with a crown and a home on high.
If often in life I slip and fall, The closer I'll cling to Christ through all; No matter how rough the way may be, If it ends in immortality. Little it matters how rough the way That my feet are treading day by day, Though I walk through the darkness with tear and sigh, Tears will be banished by-and-by.
Welcome the day when the journey's done, And the weary feet shall homeward come, When the brow is wreathed with a starry crown, And the heavy burdens are all laid down,— No more in journeyings dark and lone, But joy, and Heaven, and peace, and home, Ended forever earth's weary night, And we'll walk with the glorified ones in white.
L. D. SANTEE. Parsons, Kan.
