Comfort In Need

By Anna D. Walker

WHEN doubts and fears upon me press, And care doth add her strain and stress, And they attend me, grief and woe, And creature comforts are laid low, I turn me to the book of life, Amid the heat of battle strife; And there with joyful hope I read, “God will supply your every need.”

At once I count the promise mine; It bids my heart to glow and shine; 'Tis written by the Almighty hand That doth the heaven and earth command; That keeps the planets in their course, And gives the sun his heat and force, And rules the raging, restless sea, And holds it in its boundary.

Now is my soul all hushed and still, My Promiser will sure fulfil: He has the will, he has the power, And he will keep me hour by hour— Will give me strength for all the way, Be light by night, be joy by day; How can I faint when this I read, “God will supply your every need”?

—Anna D. Walker, in Christian Work.
