PATIENT FAITH.

By Thomas Hill

O, God! thy wisdom cannot err; Thy tender mercy never fails; Although thou mayst the help defer, Till hands and feet are pierced with nails.

Thy Best-beloved bore the cross; He died that awful death for me; Help me for him to suffer loss, Like him to bear my agony!

Teach me to look in faith to him; His wounded feet, and hands, and side, Have made all earthly honors dim; While pain and grief are glorified.

Give me, O, Father! strength to bear All burdens gladly for his sake; With him in grief below to share And in his joys above partake. —Thomas Hill, D.D., in Independent.
