6417 Sarah Flower Adams 1805-1848 John Bartlett

 
NUMBER:6417
AUTHOR:Sarah Flower Adams (1805–1848)
QUOTATION:He sendeth sun, he sendeth shower,
Alike they’re needful to the flower;
And joys and tears alike are sent
To give the soul fit nourishment.
As comes to me or cloud or sun,
Father! thy will, not mine, be done.
ATTRIBUTION:He sendeth Sun, he sendeth Shower.
