To-day I faltered;But Love placed beside my handA rose,That I might touch the petals,Breathe its fragrance,Rich with a message from His garden fair.

Surrender

EVELYN G. DUFF

When thou canst say, and truly mean it,E'en though with bitter tearsAnd aching heart,"Thy will be done,"And look away from the materialInto the singing presence of thy God,Thou shalt find light and peace and plentyAnd rapture such as thou hast never dreamed,And the radiance of His unalterable beingWill illumine every simplest act of thine.
