The Shadow of the Rock

By Mary Williams

MRS. MARY WILLIAMS
How oft as we travel life's pathway, Mid the changeable scenes that we meet, Our hearts become heavy and weary, And we sigh for some peaceful retreat,—
Some safe hiding place from the tempest, The burden and heat of the day, Where life's problems that worry and vex us, Like its shadows shall vanish away.
'Tis found in the smile of our Saviour, As safe on his life-giving breast, In his wonderful mercy rejoicing, We enter the haven of rest.
What delight in this shadow to linger, Released from the thralldom of sin, In his tender protection confiding, And his Spirit abiding within!
Thus oft as we travel life's pathway, His light that illumines our way, Shall glow with a splendor supernal, Till dawneth the long-looked-for day.
