ALIKE IN SUNSHINE AND STORM.
By G. A. Guerrier
WHEN the woes and temptations surrounding this life,
Together conspire to bring me to harm,
I smile in my joy as I arm for the strife;
For God is alike in the sunshine and storm. The armor of God is a shield for his child,
And weighs not his faith by its matter of form,
Then fear not the tempest, though lowering and wild;
For God is alike in the sunshine and storm. Hath he hidden a season his face from our view?
Do we feel in our hearts a dread pang of alarm?
Then pray on and sing on, e'er faithful and true;
For God is alike in the sunshine and storm. In his wisdom divine let us put all our trust;
By attendance on duty we keep the heart warm;
We will know as we rise from earth's turmoil and dust,
In the light of our God, we are done with the storm. G. A. GUERRIER.
