    “THY WILL NOT MINE.”

    If we could die
    Whene’er the sad heart craved release,
    Or the grieved spirit begged surcease
    Of agony;
    If we could die
    When weary of our earthly home,
    Many would unassoilzied come,
    Dear Lord, to thee.
    HEVI 41.3

    How oft the cry:
    “Lord take this life that thou didst give!
    Too sad am I, too weak, to live;
    Lord, let me die!
    I ask but this:
    Simply within the grave to lie;
    To hear no sound, to make no cry;
    This would be bliss.”
    HEVI 41.4

    In after-time,
    When life’s fires burn with milder glow,
    We humbly say: “Tis better so;
    Thy will, not mine.
    Dear Lord, is best.
    I joy in this life thou didst give;
    How glad, how glad am I to live:
    My days are blest.
    HEVI 41.5

    “It has been given
    That I should strengthen one to stand;
    To uplift one with helpful hand
    From darkened way.
    I thank thee, Lord
    Thou didst not grant my wilful cry,
    But gave me peace. How blest am I
    In this, my life!” Virginia F. Noble.
    HEVI 41.6
