TRUsreuL, BUT SILENT.


forteinali
In this loud strife, where tongues and swords
prevail,
], Who would surely win ths victory,
Need not to fear the FOES that me sSsail
For. though seek my armor silently,
Nv God doth tight with me-
In that still hour when lifss worst foe
oercome,
seok the rest that follows victory;
shall not fail to find my welcome home,
Although a' silent then, my lips may b.
Ny God will watch for mol
He Who in strife, or In the peace Of dsath,
Knows who is his, and who his enemy,
Looks at the heart, and never at the breath
And, though pray, or though silent be,
Nghta leads, and rest, with me,
E r CHAMPLIN.
