MY WISH - by L. E. Homfray

MY  WISH by  L. E. Homfray Oh! could I hope that words of mine One thought expressed by tongue or pen, Might bring a moment’s joy or peace Across the restless hearts of men. Could I but bring to one poor life A gleam of God’s eternal light, Or, with a tender word of praise Lead one weak erring soul aright. Could I with any words of hope Bring home to one despairing heart, The love of Christ that pardons all, His mercy which shall ne’er depart. Ah! then my soul, though still bereft Of much that others love and prize, Shall see above its earthly trials A crown of blessing in disguise.
