Explore "Approaches" by George MacDonald on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
When thou turn'st away from ill, / Christ is this side of thy hill.
When thou turnest toward good, / Christ is walking in thy wood.
When thy heart says, "Father, pardon!"
Then the Lord is in thy garden.
When stern Duty wakes to watch, / Then his hand is on the latch.
But when Hope thy song doth rouse, / Then the Lord is in the house.
When to love is all thy wit, / Christ doth at thy table sit.
When God's will is thy heart's pole, / Then is Christ thy very soul.
