TRUST IN THE LORD.

By V. O. Edson

THE Lord is good, why need we faint? He'll not despise a humble saint; He's promised e'er to be our friend, He'll not forsake us to the end.

Then let us put our trust in him, Though every earthly hope be dim; Trust him in darkness, as in light, Then is the time to trust him right.

O pray what cause have we to fear? Or doubt his willingness to hear? When he has said, if ye believe, Ask only, and ye shall receive.

Then let us take him at his word, Believe him, trust him, as our Lord; Thus in the darkest hour of grief, If we but seek, he'll send relief. V. O. EDSON. Palermo, N. Y.
