An Angel Song

Poem

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.

Trust

E. JEWEL ROBINSON

I know not what the years may bringTo me of peace or pain;Nor when the young blades will appear,Whence comes the golden grain;But this I know: God's promisesForever shall remain.
