We may make our trials a source of love and confidence and consola¬ 
tion, saying with the Apostle, “For our light affliction, which is but for a 
moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding, and eternal weight of glory.” 
Blessed are they who iveep, they who sow in tears , for they shall reap, 
with joy ineffable, the harvest of eternal life and felicity. 
“Sweet hour of tribulation, 
When the heart can freely sigh, 
And the tear of resignation 
Twinkles in the mournful eye.” 
— Montgomery. 
Thy Way, Not Mine. 
Thy way, not mine, O Lord, 
However dark it be! 
Lead me by Thine own Hand, 
Choose out the path for me. 
Take Thou my cup, and it 
With joy or sorrow fill 
As best to Thee may seem; 
Choose Thou my good and ill. 
—Horatius Bonar.
