“WHEREFORE DIDST THOU DOUBT?”

By P. Alderman

It was through doubt that Peter sank While walking on the sea; So unbelief and doubt will sink, If faithless, you and me.

The sea was rough when Peter sank, So is the sea of life; But shall we sink beneath the waves Of doubt, and fear, and strife?

The same sweet invitation, “Come!” Shines on the sacred page; “Come unto me, ye trusting ones, Come children, youth, and age.”

Then let us trust His mighty power, His hand to us stretched out, And listen to His kind rebuke, “O wherefore didst thou doubt?”

So glad am I He bids us come, So glad He walked the sea, And that dear hand which Peter caught, He still extends to me.

P. ALDERMAN.
