One Thought of Love

ALICIA C. HUBBARD

Who can tell what flowsFrom the heart of a roseAs into the air its fragrance goes;As it sends through the gloomIts sweet perfume;Whom it cheers and blessesWith fragrant caresses;What it givesWhere it goes,—Who can tellBut the rose?

O blessed means of ease, whereby to bring...

Arthur F. Fuller

O blessed means of ease, whereby to bringOur burdens, hopes, ambitions to His feetIn meekness, trusting in His mercy sweet,—The worthiness of our eternal King!Thus to the winds may we our worries fling,For faith is honored at the mercy-seat;According to His will must we entreat,For then the song of victory we may sing.

For the sake of the city that is to be,Keep patient when things go wrong;The very one who displeases theeShall join his breve to the songWhich is swelling into a jubileeFrom the throats of a countless throng.
