On Life's Stormy Sea.

BUFFETED and sorely tried, Shall I, Lord, the storm outride ? Shall I weather safe the gale? Will my courage never fail? See, my Lord. the angry wave, Can I the rough surges brave? Torn with sorrow, grief and care, Shall I reach the haven fair?
"Father, oh, the night is dark,— Wilt thou guide my trembling bark ? Weary, faint, and tempest-tossed, All my cherished idols lost; With my sails all torn and riven, Shall I gain the port of Heaven? As the storm-clouds round me lower, Lord, I feel the tempter's power.
Be thou still my friend and guide, 'Mid the rough and rolling tide; Then with courage brave and strong, Will I urge my way along ; Though the breakers round me roar, Darkness vail the distant shore, Through this stormy sea of strife, I shall gain the port of life. L. E. MILLNE.
