HELP IN CHRIST.

By Thomas Cogswell Upham

'Tis true the road we do not know, And sometimes feel afraid to go; But Christ, our Master, goes before, And where 'tis rough will help us o'er.

'Tis sometimes rocky, sometimes steep, Or leads o'er foaming waters deep, With cliffs that frown above our head, And snares beneath, and pitfalls spread.

But though it seems a dangerous way, Let not our ready steps delay, So long as Christ, our Leader, knows The snares and dangers which oppose.

We do not know what's known to him; His eye is bright though ours be dim; To him the way is straight and clear, Then let us follow without fear. —T. C. Upham, in World's Crisis.
