The School of Sorrow
I sat in the school of sorrow,
The Master was teaching there.
My eyes were dim with weeping,
And my heart was full of care.
I could not learn my lesson,
And say, Thy will be dong
And the Master came not near me
As the weary hours rolled on
At last in my heavy sorrow
| looked to the cross above,
And saw the Saviour looking
With a glance of tend rest love
He looked at the cross before me,
And 1 thought 1 heard him say,
“My child thou must learn thy lesson,
Thou must bear thy cross today.”
So | stopped in my heavy sorrow;
One glance at that face divine
Had given me power to trust Him,
And say, “Thy will. not mine.”
And so 1 learned my lesson,
Taught by the Master alone,
Which made Him my blessed Saviour,
And also made Heaven my home.
