EVER LOOK TO JESUS.

By L. R. Carr

Child of God, why droop in sadness, Pining at thy lot so sore? For the humble, trusting pilgrim, There is help divine in store.
Dost thou feel the cross is heavy, And beneath it thou must fall? Look above to Christ, thy Saviour; There is strength in him for all.
When thick clouds around thee gather, And thy way seems dark as night, Oh! remember in thy sadness, In none else but Christ is light.
Jesus knows thy trials better Than thyself can ever know; For he drank this cup of sorrow, And the bitter dregs of woe.
Oh! what humble condescension In the blessed Son of God, Come to die for sinful mortals, And thus check the chastening rod.
But the grave could not retain him; Thus he's vanquished every foe. If we trust this risen Saviour God's own hand will lead us through.
L. R. CARR.
