My Divine Helper

By Llewellyn A. Morrison

"Because Thy loving-kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise Thee." Ps. 66:3.

When trials beset me I praise the Most High; He doth not forget me When dangers are nigh; My burdens He shareth That others may see; My crosses He beareth In mercy to me.

He teacheth my spirit The ways of the Word; He telleth the merit Of Jesus, my Lord; He sings of the sweetness He hath for His own— The perfect completeness His love maketh known.

There is no true gladness But what He doth send; There can not be sadness If He is my Friend; For on Him relying All ills I endure. So, living and dying, My soul is secure.

The years of the mortal Are pregnant with pain, I strive for the portal Of freedom again; I trust, tho in blindness, To win, out of strife: "For Thy loving-kindness Is better than life."
