The Healing Truth

MARGARET OSBORN

When, by the still, blue Galilean Sea,Jesus held converse with his chosen few,Instructing them what God would have them do,That from all wrong the world might be set free,How tenderly he spoke! His loving word Fell like a benediction on all ears:O little flock, give up your haunting fears,It is your Father's will that ye have heard;Come ye that labor—such the words he saidTo all his followers, making burdens light.
