THE HERMIT'S CELL
I John iv. 16.
"In the world ye
shall have tribulation:"
Lord
Jesus, Thou saidst it of old.
There dark are the
desolate mountains,
The
night winds are cold.
But safe from the
storm and the tempest
My
soul hath a cell;
There ever, beside
the still waters,
With
Jesus I dwell.
There, hushed from
the strife and the sorrow,
Alone
and apart,
In chambers of
peace and of stillness--
That
Home is His Heart.
G. T. S.
