ABIDE

By James Buckham

ABIDE! Let naught thy faith, thy purpose, turn aside. Say unto grief and pain and seeming ill, “All ways are God’s, and I but follow still His leading in the darkness deep and wide.”
Abide! Albeit thou art vexed with doubt, and tried By every test the steadfast soul may know, Still say, “I trust,” and with calm spirit go The way God wills; for God is at thy side.
Abide In that sure love that never yet denied. He who hath promised thee, is he not true? Nor surer winter’s snow nor summer’s dew Than God’s rewarding. Heaven will provide!
Abide, Nor let the paths of life and hope divide. Hold fast thy faith, whate’er the trial be, Yea, hold it fast as God holds fast to thee; And soon, ah! soon, thou shalt be satisfied.
—James Buckham.
