GOD'S SILENCE.
151
Since He his own Divine did blend
With Human in that Saviour-Friend,
That we enough might comprehend
His Love to trust Him to the end;

And guided by His perfect care,
Find all dark places everywhere
Wind upward, a celestial stair
To Love's own heights divinely fair;

He must forever bless; and aye,
At the dear break of Heaven's sweet day,
Wipe all earth's bitter tears away,
And give us more than heart can pray!

Oh, should He speak, and could we guess
That Tongue of Infinite Tenderness,
His Silence still would more express
His Love's unspeakable excess!
