MY HAND IN CHRIST’S.

By Sel.

“My hand in Christ’s!” He leadeth where he lists— Through flowery fields, or ’neath a starry sky, My faith is strong; He’ll bring me safely through The ills of life, till I am called to die.
“My hand in Christ’s!” I fear not what may come— If he is mine, I cannot yield to sin; His everlasting arms are round me here, And I can safely trust my all to him.
“My hand in Christ’s!” I care not how death comes, Whether by pestilence or in the fight; I shall be safe beneath his gentle care, Should the sun smite by day or moon by night.
“My hand in Christ’s!” who bore up Calvary’s height The cross, and gave his precious life up there To save a wretch like me! Can I e’er doubt, Or give myself a victim to despair?
No! let me cling the closer to his side, And with a child’s devotion hold him fast! “My hand in his!” I’ll safely pass along; Though storms may howl, my home I’ll gain at last. —Sel.
