WHAT IF.

By M. J. C.

What if heavy storm-clouds gather, Round us surging billows roar; If across the darkened water Beams a light from Heaven’s shore?

If we hear our Saviour’s whisper I am near; be not afraid; We can stand amid the tempest; His strong arm our ready aid.

What if thorns and stony places Bruise and tear our weary feet? While we find our Saviour’s footprints, We will count the toiling sweet.

What if shadows deepen round us, While more narrow grows the way? His sure word will light our footsteps, That we need not go astray.

What if foes do gather round us Crying, Ye must surely fall; We will trust our Father’s promise, Seek his strength, and thus prevail.

M. J. C.
