IN HIS GARDEN
I wandered in the shadows Through dreary wind-swept years. And drank from deepest fountains Of loneliness and tears; Then in my worldly wisdom I searched the way in vain, For streams of living waters To wash away the pain. The Lord of Greatness found me, A weary, fainting soul, And in His tender mercy He made my spirit whole. Xo longer do I languish For Hope now reigns supreme, And high above tiie turmoil I see His Love-light gleam. The dark of night has lifted, The morn of Faith is here, A rainbow paints the heavens And gone is every fear; For He has led my footsteps Through paths of joy and peace. Into His sunlit garden Where *iill may find relief. And now my heart is singing Of glory I have found Within His restful haven * Where Truth and Love abound; The brightness of His features Has cleared the mist away And brought my wounded spirit A golden dawn of day. —Rose L. Firth, Vancouver. —Canadian “W.R.”
