Solace
By Addie S. Pace
How often, when in trial and doubt.
Perplexed, I to the scriptures turn
And lo! the lesson needed most,
I from the sacred pages learn.
How oft, because of flesh so weak,
I fail God’s purpose to divine;
I’ve but to read, when lo! I find
His hand is holding mine.
(1920)

Oh, I like the change of meter in the last line — makes it seem held there (like it says) instead of moving steadily onward.
