Trust in Jesus.

“Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith.” Heb. xii, 2.
CHRISTIAN! is thy pathway dreary? Is thy heart oppressed with fear? Jesus calls the weak and weary, Makes them objects of his care. Listen to his invitation; He is waiting to release; In the hour of tribulation, He will give thee “perfect peace.”
Jesus saw thee in thy blindness, Guilty, wretched, far from God, And in sovereign love and kindness, Saved thee, through his precious blood; Still thy helplessness confessing, To his care thy all resign; He will send his heavenly blessing, Gently whisper, “Thou art mine.”
Christian! wherefore yield to sadness? Fix thy heart and hopes above; Look to Jesus—and with gladness, Trust his gracious, pardoning love; Trials here will sorely press thee, Let thy trust on Him be stayed; He will cheer, and guide, and bless thee, With his ever present aid.
Think how kind, how condescending! Jesus calls himself thy “Friend;” From his throne in glory bending, He will every prayer attend, He will never, never leave thee, Through thy pilgrim days below; Then, at last, he will receive thee, And a crown of life bestow.
[S. S. Times.]
