Love's Healing Streams

ALEXANDER A. LE M. SIMPSON

When the world's fierce, tempestuous error weighsWith all its burden of unreal days,Dulling the heart, how sweet to wander byUntroubled waters or a dimpling stream,And with glad heart of praiseTurn thought to HimWhose love is ever nigh,Whose government supremeNo evil mars,No hate nor terror jars,Nor darkness glooms, nor bitter envy sears,But omnipresent lightRejoices all our sight;And then to drop those faithless thoughts and dim,Dissolve to nothing those dull fearsIn His all-mantling love,And knowing Him,Trusting that careTill now unreckoned of,Wake from perturbed dreamsAnd hear,Within the heart, music of heaven's streams,As spiritual.

A Cup of Cold Water

MADGE ELDER

There is a well of waters, still and deep,Unfathomed depths of healing tenderness;But we have let rank overgrowths now creepAnd hide the path to waters that should bless.
