ALIKE IN SUNSHINE AND STORM.
By G. A. Guerrier
WHEN the woes and temptations surrounding this life
Together conspire to bring me to harm,
I smile in my joy as I arm for the strife,
For God is alike in the sunshine and storm. The armor of God is a shield for his child,
And weighs not his faith by the matter of form;
Then fear not the tempest, though lowering and wild,
For God is alike in the sunshine and storm. Hath he hidden a season his face from our view?
Do we feel in our hearts a dread pang of alarm?
Then pray on and sing on, e'er faithful and true,
For God is alike in the sunshine and storm. In his wisdom divine let us put all our trust;
By attendance on duty we keep the heart warm;
We will know as we rise from earth's turmoil and dust,
In the light of our God, we are done with the storm.
—G. A. Guerrier.
