QtfypWill pie 20one We see not, know not; all our way Is night—with Thee alone is day; From out the torrent’s troubled drift, Above the storm our prayers we lift Thy will be done! The flesh may fail, the heart may faint, But who are we to make complaint, Or dare we plead, in times like these The weakness of our love of ease ? Thy will be done! We take with solemn thankfulness Our burden up, nor ask it less, And count it joy that even we May suffer, serve, or wait for Thee, Whose will be done! Though dim as yet in tint and line We trace Thy picture’s wise design, And thank Thee that our age supplies Its dark relief of sacrifice, Thy will be done! And if, in our unworthiness, Thy sacrificial wine we press: If from Thy ordeal’s heated bars Our feet are seamed with crimson scars, Thy will be done! Strike Thou, the Master, we Thy keys, The anthem of the destinies! The minor of Thy loftier strain, Our hearts shall breathe the old refrain, Thy will be done! —John Greenleaf Whittier Be Ye Also Ready A RE these the signs of His coming That loom over sea and land, That darken the earth and the heavens? Is the day so near at hand ? We know not; He hath not told us This secret of the Lord, But all we need He hath left us To read in His sacred Word. Sweet as a silver trumpet Through tumult and clamor clear: “Watch, be ye also ready, For the time is drawing near.” —Annie Johnson Flint By permission of Evangelical Publishers A P R I L , 1 9 4 8
