BE OF GOOD CHEER.
GOD’S WILL FOR THEE
Thou earnest not to thy place by accident, It is the very place God meant for thee; And shouldest thou there small scope for action see, Do not for this give room for discontent; Nor let the time thou owost to God he spent In idly dreaming how thou mightest be, In what concerns thy spiritual life, more free From outwards hindrance or impediment's ; For presently this hindrance thou shalt find That without which all goodness were a task So slight that vitue never could grow strong; And wouldst thou done duty to TTis mind, The imposter’s, overburdened thou shalt ask And own thy need of grace to help, ere long.
—R. C. Trench
