REFUGE.
" What time lam afraid, I will trust in thee." , "I When all within is grief and fear, When every earthly ill is near, When down my cheek steals many a tear, By faith I'll cling to Thee ! To thee I'll fly in sorrow's hour, When crush'd is every earthly flower; For thou wilt give my soul the power By faith to cling to Thee ! When anguish is too deep for speech, My faintest sigh Thine ear can reach, For Thou my inmost soul canst teach To lean by faith on Thee. When anxious thoughts disturb my rest, When, c'en in prayer, I am distres't, 0, Thou canst calm the throbbing breast, By giving faith in Thee. Ah, yes ! to Thee belongs all power, And Thou canst brighten sorrow's hour, And bring forth many a lovely flower, By giving faith in Thee ! O give me then, by power Divine, A heart that is entirely Thine ! In Thy own image may I shine, By faith which lives in Thee ! S. F.
