Turn us. — By a fine gradation in the style of the address to God, the refrain has at last reached its full tone, expressive of the completest trust —
“God’s ways seem dark, but soon or late
They touch the shining hills of day.
The evil cannot brook delay;
The good can well afford to wait.”
WHITTIER.
