RESTING ON GOD.

Since thy Fathers arm sustains thee.
Peaceful be;
When Christening hand restrains thee,
1t is lie;
Know His love in full completeness
fi!Is the measure Of thy weakness;
II He wounds thy spirit sore,
Trust Him more.
Without mnrmur, uncomplaintn9,
In His hand
Lay whatever things thou canst not
Understands;
Though the world thy tolly spurneth,
From thy faith in pity turneth,
Peace thy inmost soul shall I'LL,
Lying still.
Like an infant, if thou thinkest
Thou caust stand;
Childlike, proudly pushing back
The offered hand,
Courage soon is changed to fear,
Strength doth fccbleness appearn
In His love if thou abide
He will guide.
Hath forgot;
When tho clouds around thee gather.
Doubt Him not.
Always hath the daylight broken,
Always hath He comfort spoken;
Better hath he been for years
Than thy fears.
Therefore, whatsoever bctideth
Night Or day,
Know His love for thee proyideth
Good alwuv.
Crown Of sorrow GLADLY take,
Grateful wear it for His sake,
Sweetly bending to His will,
Lying still.
To His OWN thy Savior pivcth
Daily strength:
To each troubled soul that liveth.
Peace ut length.
Weakest limbs have largest share
0f this tender Shepherds care.
