GOD SHUTS THE DOOR.
God sometimes shuts the door, and shuts us in, That He may speak, perchance, through grief or pain, And softly, heart to heart, above the din, May tell some precious thought to us again. God sometimes shuts the door, and keeps us still, That so our feverish haste, our deep unrest, Beneath His gentle touch mav quiet. till He whispers what our weary hearts love best. God sometimes shuts the* door; and, though shut in— If ’tis His hand, shall we not wait and see? If worry lies without, and toil and sin God’s world may wait within for you and me.
