Comfort in Sorrow.

‘Through cross to crown! – And though thy spirit’s life Trials untold assail with giant strength, Good cheer! good cheer! Soon ends the bitter strife, And thou shalt reign in peace with Christ at length.’ Kosegarten. ⁵ ‘Ay sooth, we feel too strong in weal, to need Thee on that road: But woe being come, the soul is dumb, that crieth not on “God.”’ Mrs. Browning. ⁶
