Man's Life Is Laid In The Loom Of Time

Man’s life is laid “In The Loom of Time”
To a pattern he does not see,
While the weavers work and the shuttles fly
Till the dawn of eternity.

Some shuttles are filled with silver threads
And some with threads of gold,
While often but the darker hues
Are all that they may hold.

But the weaver watches with skilful eye
Each shuttle fly to and fro,
And sees the pattern so deftly wrought
As the loom moves sure and slow.

God surely planned the pattern
Each thread, the dark and fair,
Is chosen by His master skill
And placed in the web with care.

He only knows its beauty,
And guides the shuttles which hold
The threads so unattractive,
As well as the THREADS OF GOLD.

Not till each loom is silent,
And the shuttles cease to fly
Shall God reveal the pattern
And explain the reason why
