Clouds and Mercy

Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take;
The clouds you so much dread
Are big with mercy and shall break
With blessing on your head.
from God Moves in a Mysterious Way

"Even 'the clouds are big with mercy,' " he said, quoting from Cowper, "but they can't break in blessings on our heads if we walk about with our umbrellas up!" --from The Lark in the Morn by Elfrida Vipont
