“Because I spent the strength Thou gavest me
In struggle which Thou never didst ordain,
And have but dregs of life to offer Thee,
O Lord, I do repent, I do repent.
“Because I was impatient, would not wait,
But thrust my impious hands across Thy threads,
And marred the pattern drawn out for my life,
O Lord, I do repent, I do repent.
“Because Thou hast borne with me all this while
Hast smitten me with love until I weep,
Hast called me as a mother calls her child,
O Lord, I do repent, I do repent.”
Most people one meets these days wear glasses. Is it because there are an increasing number of defective eyes? Or is it because the advance in scientific knowledge of the eye reveals the defects, making it apparent that almost no one has perfect organs of vision? It is well at least that our doctors know so well how to take care of our eyes and to overcome our manifold infirmities of vision.
