"Lo, I am with you alway"

RITA BERMAN

To-day , while reading in the book of Luke,I came upon the story where 't is toldHow Jesus, entering into Simon's house,Found there a woman sick with fever sore;How he stood over her, rebuking it,So that she thereupon did straightway riseAnd—oh, assuredly with eager love—She ministered to them.

And as I pondered over this sweet tale,Reliving in my heart that woman's joy,And followed her about the little homeWhere she performed the humble housewife's tasksOf service for the gentle Master's weal,There came the sudden question, What if nowA quiet knock were heard at your own door,And rising up to answer you should seeJesus awaiting there?
