The Other Room
'In My Father's House There Are Many Rooms'
NO, NOT COLD BENEATH THE GRASSES,
NOT CLOSED - WALLED WITHIN THE TOMB;
RATHER, IN MY FATHER'S MANISON,
LIVING ANOTHER ROOM.
LIVING, LIKE THE ONE WHO LOVES ME,
LIKE YON CHILD WITH CHEEKS ABLOOM,
OUT OF SIGHT, AT DESK OR SCHOOL-BOOK,
BUSY IN ANOTHER ROOM.
NEARER THAN THE YOUTH WHOM FORTUNE
BECKONS WHERE THE STRANGE LANDS LOOM;
JUST BEHIND THE HANGING CURTAIN,
SERVING IN ANOTHER ROOM.
SHALL I DOUBT MY FATHER'S MERCY?
SHALL I THINK OF DEATH AS DOOM,
OR THE STEPPING O'ER THE THRESHOLD
TO A BIGGER, BRIGHTER ROOM?
SHALL I BLAME MY FATHER'S WISDOM?
SHALL I SIT ENSWATHED IN GLOOM,
WHEN I KNOW MY LOVE IS HAPPY,
WAITING IN THE OTHER ROOM?

Hymn of Comfort "Amazing Grace" No. 161
Amazing grace! How sweet the sound, That a wretch like
me! I once was lost, but now, but now I am found, was blind
but now I see.
Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, And grace my
fears relieved; How precious did that grace appear The
hour I first believed!
Thro many dangers, toils and snares, I have already come;
Tis grace hath bro't me safe thus far, And grace will lead
me home.
