PEACE

By F. R. Havergal

And there was calm! O Saviour, I have proved That Thou to help and save art really near: How else this quiet rest from grief and fear, And all distress! The cross is not removed, I must go forth to bear it as before; But, leaning on Thine arm, I dread its weight no more.
Is it indeed Thy peace? I have not tried To analyze my faith, dissect my trust, Or measure if belief be full and just, And therefore claim Thy peace. But Thou hast died. I know that this is true, and true for me, And knowing it, I come, and cast my all on Thee.
It is not that I feel less weak, but Thou Wilt be my strength; it is not that I see Less sin, but more of pardoning love with Thee And all-sufficient grace. Enough! And now All fluttering thought is stilled, I only rest, And feel that Thou art near, and know that I am blest.
—F. R. Havergal.
