TRIUMPH OF FAITH.

By Mrs. M. A. Kellogg

"Unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul."
WHEN my heart is over burdened With its weary weight of woe, Tremblingly it shrinks and falters At the furnace' fiery glow.
When my bleeding footsteps linger On the dusty road at even, Then I need thee, precious Jesus, Let my sins be all forgiven.
Oh, for strength to bear life's burdens! Oh, for grace to act my part! All thy precepts, pure and holy, Write them now upon my heart.
Tho' the shrinking flesh may quiver, Yet the spirit strong and free, Says, "my Lord, my Friend, and Saviour, I will suffer still with thee."
Where my Captain leads I'll follow, Though all earthly ties be riven, Gladly suffer in the warfare Till the glad discharge be given.
"Come ye blessed of my Father," All the ransomed ones will hear; "Behold, I gird myself and serve you! Share with me this heavenly cheer."
Heated brows will cease their throbbing As the helmet is laid down, And the loving hand of Jesus Places there a starry crown.
'Twill be enough to share the glories Of that world of bliss untold, To be forever with our Saviour, And wear the victor's crown of gold.
