"Missing."
WHEN the anxious hearts say "Where?"
He doth answer " In My care."
"Is it life or is it death ?"
"Wait," He whispers. " Child, have faith!"
"Did they need love's tenderness?"
"Is there love like Mine to bless?"
"Were they frightened at the last?"
"No, the sting of death is past."
"Did a thought of 'Home-Love' rise?"
"I looked down thro' Mother-eyes."
"Saviour, tell us, where are they?"
"In My keeping, night and day."
"Tell us, tell us, how it stands."
"None shall pluck them from My Hands."
A Crown of Amaranth. London: Erskine Macdonald., 1915.
