His Answer
He prayed for patience; Care and Sorrow came,
And dwelt with him, grim and unwelcome guests;
He felt their galling presence night and day;
And wondered if the Lord had heard him pray,
And why his life was filled with weariness.
He prayed again; and now he prayed for light;
The darkness parted, and the light shone in;
And lo! he saw the answer to his prayer—
His heart had learned, through weariness and care,
The patience, that he deemed he'd sought in vain.

The darkness parted, and the light shone in;
And lo! he saw the answer to his prayer—
His heart had learned, through weariness and care,
The patience, that he deemed he'd sought in vain.
