WHATEVER IS-IS BEST.
I know as my life grows older, And mine eyes have clearer sight, That under each rank Wrong somewhere There lies the root of Right; That each sorrow has its purpose, By the sorrowing oft unguessed, But as sure as the sun brings morning, Whatever is—is best. ] know that each sinful action, As sure* as the night bungs shade, Is somewhere, sometimes punished, Though the hour be long delayed 1 know that the soul is aided Sometimes by the heart’s unrest. And to grow means often to suffer. But whatever is—is best. 1 know there are no errors In the great Eternal plan. And all things work together For the final good of man. And I know when my soul speeds onward, In its grand Eternal quest, 1 shall say, as I look back earthward. Whatever is—is best.
