Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Beyond the Shadow Of freedom, light, and blossoms in profusion. But in that waiting time, so dark, so long, With all the world shut out, he found his gift of song. A maiden, seated at the ivory keys; Her discontent but illy she disguises; No value in repeated scales she sees, No beauty in the simple exercises. Time wasted, think you? Look again, and see Musician who can wake divinest melody! A life from which the joy had ebbed away And left but pain and aching void behind it; A hung´ring, through long nights and many a day, For rest and peace - if one could only find it! Then came there One who saw the vacant place; He filled it with His love and crowned it with His grace. O heart perplexed and weary, upward look! Hope on, nor longer spend thy time complaining; Thy experiences and trials are the book From which God teaches in thy course of training. For life is but a school, and not in vain; That looked upon as loss may mean but larger gain. The office, sickroom, field, or prison cell, Are but the classrooms where the Master teaches, And if we learn the lessons ill, or well, Yet through it all His love to each one reaches; In love we´re placed according to our need, And how we spend the time is all that counts indeed. What seems to human eyes as but defeat, When all one´s plans, one´s hopes, lie crushed and smitten, As real success - as victory complete - May yet in Heaven´s book above be written, And there some day, in Heaven´s light made clear, We´ll see as then they are the things so puzzling here.
