Tests of Faith

By Delwin Rees Buckner

Tho tempted sorely, I have never ceased To feel that God doth try us as a test Of faith. Upon the waves a sailing west Sometimes I buffet winds a blowing east; The troubled sea is often crossed and creased With deep-cut hollows, many a lofty crest. Yet fear I not, for God works for the best Of all His creatures, man, and bird, and beast.

Let angry tempests in their fury growl. My Saviour's strong, protecting hand is near, And it will guide me through the ills that come. The raging winds do not for always howl; And when they cease, His cov'ring hand will steer My beaten bark into its harbor home.
