THE GUIDING HAND.

“ ‘Is this the way, my Father?’ ‘Tis, my child: Thou must pass through this tangled, dreary wild If thou wouldst reach the city undefiled, Thy peaceful home above.’
“ ‘But enemies are round!’ ‘Yes, child, I know That where thou least expect thou’lt find a foe; But victor thou shalt prove o’er all below; Only seek strength above.’
“ ‘My Father, it is dark!’ ‘Child, take my hand; Cling close to me; I’ll lead thee through the land: Trust my all-seeing care; so shalt thou stand ’Midst glory bright above.’
“ ‘My footsteps seem to slide!’ ‘Child, only raise Thine eye to me, then in these slippery ways I will hold up thy goings; thou shalt praise Me for each step, above.’
“ ‘O Father, I am weary!’ ‘Lean thy head Upon my breast. It was my love that spread Thy rugged path; hope on, till I have said, ‘Rest, rest for aye, above.’ ”
—Advocate of Holiness.
