"I WILL NEVER LEAVE THEE."

By Angie Johnson

Heb. xiii, 5.

WHEN sorrow clouds my brightest day, When hopes too fondly cherished, Pass like some hasty dream away, When fairest joys have perished; O, why should sadness fill my heart, And light affliction grieve me? Though earthly comforts may depart, My God will never leave me.
When dearest friends unfaithful prove, In life's sad, loneliest hours; When those who gained my warmest love Fade like the fragile flowers; O, why should tears bedim my eye? Though human ties deceive me, Yet one unchanging friend is nigh, And he will never leave me.
O, trembling christian, courage take, No cause hast thou for grieving; The Saviour never will forsake The soul in him believing; When passing through the darksome vale, His presence shall relieve thee; Fear not though heart and flesh may fail, For he will never leave thee. ANGIE JOHNSON, Southampton, Ills.
