TAUGHT OF GOD.
"And they shall be all taught of God."—John vi, 45.
"Learn of Me."—Matthew xi, 29.

OF all the glowing promises
That circle the creation broad,
None so exalting seems as this,
That they shall all be taught of God.
What! the Creator Infinite!
The High and Holy One who reigns,
Uncomprehended in the height
Oi vast eternity's domain!

Has He such care for mortals, weak
And sinful, lost in wanderings wild,
That his strong hand should reach to seek
And lead the merest earth-born child?
Oh! Power supreme, incline our heart!
Oh! Light, shine on our darkened road
Teach us to seek the better part,
Our souls would fain be taught of God.
