He Hath Blessed Us Hitherto

By Lillian S. Connerly

LILLIAN S. CONNERLY

WHEN the cross the dear Lord gives you Seemeth more than you can bear; When your heart grows faint with watching For some respite from your care; When the whole world seems against you, And your faith it would undo, It is well, then, to remember He hath blessed you hitherto.

There is comfort in remembering How he led you yesterday; How, when strength had well-nigh faltered, He gave courage "as thy day:" And when past the stormy trial, You could see the rainbow hue; And your gladdened heart gave witness, "He hath blessed me hitherto."

If he did not fail you yesterday, Will he fail you, soul, to-day? If he made the mount a valley, And prepared for you a way, Can you doubt his watch-care still, Or believe he is untrue, When through every sea of trial He hath blessed you hitherto?

Faithless heart, O cease to murmur! Look to Jesus, trust his power. Trust him when the sun is shining, Trust him when the storm-clouds lower. In his great eternal calmness God is faithful, he is true; And assurance he hath given, For he blessed you hitherto.

Ancon, C. Z.
