A HYMN OF TRUST;

By M. E. PIPER

I’ll take it all to Jesus—all my care, All dread of future ill—all anxious fear— He knows me best, and what I need to bear.

I’m weary of this earthly strife and din, Of battling with temptation and with sin, Yet I must fight if a crown would win.

A bright, unfading crown of glory waits All those who pass within the pearly gates, And this with joy my soul anticipates.

But while on earth I stay, to me is given Some stars to gain to deck my crown in Heaven. Oh! may I then for these have nobly striven.

And so, dear Jesus, now to thee I come, For grace to cheer, for strength to labor on And keep in view my crown, my rest, my home. M. E. PIPER.
