Miscellaneous.

By Marianne Farningham

STRENGTH IN WEAKNESS.

"He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength."
It is no dream, Great Comforter, But very truth to me, That all earth's strengthless, fainting ones May be made strong in thee.
The years have taught me many things, But none so sure as this: That shelter, solace, joy, and strength Are always where God is.
So now, when hope and courage fail, And only fear is strong, My heart will sing, as in the past, An unforgotten song.
"God is my refuge and my strength, I will not be afraid;" And though the night be wild and dark, I meet it undismayed.
The strength to bear, or work, or wait, Is thine, O God, to give; And who shall weak and strengthless be, That learns in thee to live?
—Marianne Farningham, in London Christian World.
