TRUST.

By E. A. Boynton

WHEN dark and drear the way has grown, And somber clouds my soul bedim, My soul shall trust in God alone, "My expectation is from him."
When on the Lord "my mind is staid," He keeps my heart in "perfect peace;" And nought can make me feel afraid, For "everlasting strength" is his.
It matters not what may betide, Though earth and hell my soul pursue; With God, my Saviour, on my side, "I will not fear what man shall do."
When dark forebodings fill thy soul, And doubts and fears disturb thy breast, Upon the Lord thy burden roll, And he will give thy spirit rest.
"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart;" Nor to thine understanding lean; Thy doubts and fear shall soon depart, And leave thee tranquil and serene.
"Wait on the Lord," where'er thou art; "Good courage" take, nor doubt his word; "And he shall strengthen wel thine heart." Again I say, "wait on the Lord." —E. A. Boynton.
