Religion

December 23, 1879: VII

by George MacDonald 1824–1905

From The poetical works of George MacDonald in two volumes — Volume 2

Religion

Doors and windows, tents and grave-clothes, winters and eggs and seeds,
Ye shall all be opened and broken and torn; ye are but to serve my needs!
On the will of the Father all lovely things are strung like a string of
beads
For his heart to give the obedient child that the will of the father
heeds.
