FAITH.

By Carol Wandell Bunce

WHEN our faith in God is wav’ring, And our trust in man is fled, When our hope of heaven is fading, And our hearts are full of dread,

When our weary steps are falt’ring In the path of gloom and fear, And we blindly grope and wander Through the labyrinth so drear,

Then, before our view uprising, Lo! a shining cloud we see, And from out this glorious vision Comes a voice, “Child, lean on Me.”

Thus, the mountain gained, we’ll linger, Gathering power for further flight; Then our strengthened faith will take us Straight above to heaven’s own light.

All our years will end in brightness If in everything we trace That our God, our Friend, our Father, Holds us in His fond embrace. —Carol Wandell Bunce.
