This wonderful system
This wonderful system of compensations
Every shadow, has its light;
every night, has its morning;
every pang of pain, has its thrill of pleasure;
every salt tear, has its crystal beauty;
every weakness, has its element of strength;
every loss, has its gain.
So all through life, these balancings run. He is not a thoughtful or reverent observer, who has not been struck by this wonderful system of compensations found in all God's providence.
Wherever we turn we can see it — if only we have eyes to see.
