TAKE ME BY THE HAND, FATHER.

By Sol.

Oh! the heavy, heavy trials Pressing closely round my way: Take me by the hand, dear Father, All my weary soul doth pray. Clouds are gathering, wildly frowning With sad portent o’er my head; Sorrow’s waves roll darkly round me, Pathless wastes my footsteps tread.
Hold me in thy arms, dear Saviour! Bear, O bear me safely through; Save me from the misty darkness, Light of home, O let me view. Praise! the threat’ning clouds are lifting; Joy! the raging waters cease; Faith’s high towers light up in glory; Jesus sweetly whispers peace!
—Sol.
