SUBMISSION

By M. J. Bahler

The way is dark, all dark, I cannot see One step ahead, not one; But I have laid my burden at His feet, Trusting in Him alone.

Yes, I have laid it down; I’ll leave it there, Trusting in Israel’s God. I know there’s help and strength in him, and I Will bow and kiss the rod.

The waters surged round me deep and cold, My heart seemed still and frozen— But then I sought my God with sighs and tears, Presenting Christ his chosen,

And he in tender love took all my care, And blessed my heart with peace. Oh! there is strength in Israel’s God I know. He makes our troubles cease.

And though I cannot see the way, I trust In him; for he will lead. And though my troubles deepen, still I trust; He heals, e’en though hearts bleed.
