The Home Circle.

By Frances Ridley Havergal

"ENOUGH."

I AM so weak, dear Lord, I cannot stand One moment without thee; But oh! the tenderness of thine enfolding! And oh! the faithfulness of thine upholding! And oh! the strength of thy right hand! That strength is enough for me.

I am so needy, Lord, and yet I know All fullness dwells in thee; And hour by hour that never-failing treasure, Supplies and fills in overflowing measure, My least, my greatest need. And so Thy grace is enough for me.

It is so sweet to trust thy word alone. I do not ask to see The unveiling of thy purpose, or the shining Of future light on mysteries untwining; Thy promise-roll is all my own— Thy word is enough for me.

The human heart asks love. But now I know That my heart hath from thee All real, and full, and marvelous affection; So near, so human! Yet divine perfection Thrills gloriously the mighty glow; Thy love is enough for me.

[broad, There were strange soul-depths, restless, vast, and Unfathomed as the sea, An infinite craving for some infinite stilling; But now thy perfect love is perfect filling; Lord Jesus Christ, my Lord, my God, Thou, THOU art enough for me! —Frances Ridley Havergal.
