In Him Secure

By WORTHIE HARRIS HOLDEN

WORTHIE HARRIS HOLDEN
What varied feelings stir our breast Betwixt the hours of morn and eve! Like fickle phantoms they possess The balm to soothe or bane to grieve.
Grim doubt assails us, and we fain Would e'en deny our hope of heaven, While our arch-enemy again With taunts declares such solace riven.
O joy that in our Father's love He weighed this weak humanity! Our heart is fixed on things above Despite all Satan's subtilty.
And feelings rife, temptations sore, Can ne'er disturb our Rock for aye. He is my Saviour evermore, And will be with his own alway.
What though the tempter should assert, “Thy feelings can not claim thy King!” Christ's power will never me desert Since I accept his offering.
O Christ, thou knowest all our frame, Thou, too, wast tempted like as we, None else can sympathize the same, Nor understand our moods like thee.
