TRUST IN GOD.

By Gettie W. Davis

Lonely pilgrim, on life's pathway, Art thou weary and oppressed, Toiling 'neath thy heavy burdens, Longing for the promised rest?
Art thou passing through the waters, Passing 'neath the chastening rod? 'Tis thy Father's hand that leads thee; Bow submissive to thy God.
Should thy heart grow faint within thee, At the tempest and the wave, He will walk the way beside thee, He will comfort thee and save.
Though his chastening may seem grievous, Yet in mercy it is given; Only God knows what is needed To prepare thy soul for Heaven.
Calmly trusting in his promise Ne'er to leave thee nor forsake, With the eye of faith look upward, Soon the light of day shall break.
When this pilgrimage is ended, Passed away this dreary night, “Hope shall turn to glad fruition, Faith shall then be changed to sight.”
