HUNGERINGS.

By Mrs. M. J. Bahler

BY MRS. M. J. BAHLER.
Oh, give me that patience, dear Jesus, Which never will fail, though the load Be such that I'm bowed, while I bear it, E'en down to the earth's dewy sod.
Oh, grant me that sweet resignation Which can sing though mine eyes dim with tears. Oh, help me to smile 'mid the shadows, And by faith chase away chilling fears.
Oh, grant me endurance, my Saviour, Though darkness envelop my path, So thick that e'en glimmer of starlight Is hidden by storm-clouds of wrath.
Oh, help! lest I stumble in weakness, Dear Jesus; I only can stand By clinging most firmly, most closely To thee, and thy powerful hand.
