Solace and Shield

By WORTHIE HARRIS HOLDEN

WORTHIE HARRIS HOLDEN
MOUNT thy little fret and friction, Climb the ladder of thy care, To thy Father's benediction In the secret place of prayer.
For each care builds higher stairway, And the added loads increase All the blessings of thy pathway, To the heights of perfect peace.
It is rest to simply trust Him Who upholds the worlds and thee; To unload thy grief upon him Who blends power with sympathy;
So he gives a little sorrow That his strength may be revealed, That thy need may haste to borrow From thy Solace and thy Shield.
O the love past comprehension And the heights of grace unknown In the plan of God's redemption To create us all his own!
Portland, Oregon.
