Sarah Flower Adams Poems

O Love! thou makest all things even
In earth or heaven;
Finding thy way through prison-bars
Up to the stars;
...

Part in peace: is day before us?
Praise His Name for life and light;
Are the shadows lengthening o'er us?
Bless His care Who guards the night.
...

O Love! thou makest all things even
In earth or heaven;
Finding thy way through prison-bars
Up to the stars;
...

Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee!
E'en though it be a cross
That raiseth me:
...

He sendeth sun, he sendeth shower,
Alike they're needful for the flower:
And joys and tears alike are sent
To give the soul fit nourishment.
...

He sendeth sun, he sendeth shower,
Alike they're needful for the flower:
And joys and tears alike are sent
To give the soul fit nourishment.
