OUR TRUE HELP.

By C. H. Bliss

C. H. BLISS. (Woodburn, Ill.)

“He hath sent me to heal the broken-hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, . . . to set at liberty them that are bruised.”

My sins like billows o’er me rolled, I sank in deep despair; I looked to human friends for aid, But found no help was there.

Then to the Lord I raised my voice, And offered up one prayer, “Show pity, Lord, O Lord, forgive.” I found my help was there.

I heard a voice which spoke within, A voice so sweet and low, “I’ve pardoned all ’thy guilt and sin, Believe, and thou shalt know.”

By faith I cast one upward glance, I saw the world above, I cried, “O Lord, I do believe,”— My soul was filled with love.
