JOY IN THE LORD.

By Emma H. Woolsey

In the word, how exceedingly precious, The many assurances given, To lighten the dark rugged pathway That leadeth directly to Heaven.
And we know our redemption is nearing, Sing praises with heart, and with voice, For the glorious prospect before us We'll lift up our heads and rejoice.
The way groweth more and more narrow, And more are the trials that rise; More dense are the shadows that gather, To darken our path to the skies. Though clouds may obscure the bright sunlight, And storms of affliction may fall, The heart that is stayed upon Jesus, Hath joy intermixed with it all.
And when our extremity cometh Bright angels our Father will send, The Saviour himself will be with us, Yes, “always even unto the end.” Then may we look up, ever trusting, Have hearts that no trial will shun, Have strength and have grace to say ever, Let the will of our Father be done.
