THE JOY OF HEALING

Jennie Baird Schooley

What joy to know that Love is ever nearTo quiet thought, and take our fears away,And bring sweet peace to soothe throughout the day;So trusting, man lives on with vision clear,And praising God, delights to persevereIn serving Him, though skies be blight or gray,And blest of Truth, in gratitude doth pray,Increasing his devotion year by year.
