ONLY BELIEVE.
This is an hard
saying; who can hear it? – St. John vi:60.
Is the saying too hard to
believe?
Doth reason stand baffled and dumb?
Is the doctrine too deep to
receive?
Then wait till the Master shall come.
Till the light of His
presence is poured,
We may search through the problem in vain;
The Master Who gave us the
World,
Himself must its meaning explain.
Himself gives the faith to
adore
The truths that are hidden from sight;
For their depth I would love
them the more,
And revere them but more for their height.
Up the measureless heights of
His love,
Down the fathomless depths of His grace,
I would gaze till all doubts
should remove,
And faith all misgivings displace.
Oh, sweet is the blessing for
those
Who see not, and yet have believed;
And safe is their
place of repose,
Who rest on the promise received.
-Jane Crewdson.
