PRAYER MAKETH TRIALS LIGHT.

By M. H. Luke

When trials there oppress us, We know not how to bear; What balm can give such sweet relief As we can find in prayer?
When Satan seems o'er us to throw, His ever ready snare; And say we never can be good, Oh! then let's kneel in prayer.
Nothing to our poor weary hearts, When torn by grief and care; Can give us that sweet grace we need, Like fervent, constant prayer.
Though the dark storms of sorrow Oft here fall to our share; Then on our bended knees we find Such sweet relief in prayer.
Oh! weary, heavy-laden ones, Cast down with many a care; Look up by faith to Heaven's fair dome; Jesus will answer prayer.
When far from our dear native land, 'Mid strangers, doomed to bear Burdens we ne'er knew before, We find our needed help in prayer.
We'll take new courage on the way, Ne'er give up to despair; For Jesus waiting stands to hear His faithful children's prayer. M. H. LUKE. Allegan Co., Mich.
