By Edward Bulwer LyttonThe Kingdom of God
T
Whoever plants a seed beneath the sod
And waits to see it push away the clod,
He trusts in God.
“Be patient, heart; light breaketh by-and-by,”
Trusts the Most High.
The silent harvest of the future grow,
God’s power must know.
Content to lock each sense in slumber deep,
Knows God will keep.
