TRUSTING IN JESUS.

By M. H. Luke

Come to me when trials heavy Press their weight upon thy brow, Lay thy burden on my shoulder, I will lift it from thee now.

I will be thy God and Saviour, Whereso’er thy lot be cast, Guide thee through earth’s darkest sorrow, Bear thee safely home at last.

Only lean upon my bosom, Let my word thy wants supply, Believing that it never faileth, And the fount will never dry.

Blessed words! Oh! sweet the promise, Toiling through this world of sin, Joy and comfort mingled in them, Teach us how the crown to win.

How to gain that sinless Haven, Where the tempter’s power will cease, And the heavenly light that beameth, Overflow with love and peace.

Can we shrink when trials heavy Bid us lay the armor down? No! we’ll gird ourselves for duty, And through Jesus win the crown.

M. H. LUKE.
