FAITH.

By L. E. Millne

My Father who in heaven art, O guide me in that way, That I from thee may ne'er depart, Nor from thy precepts stray.

How could I tread this pathway drear Without my Father's smile This weary, fainting heart to cheer, And all my woes beguile.

Did not my Saviour suffer here For sinners such as I? Then why should I the pathway fear That leads to joys on high?

O, as thy day thy strength shall be, Is the blest promise given; O Father, bid my sorrows flee, And raise my thoughts to heaven.

I will by faith the promise plead, And on thy strength rely, O Lord, in every time of need Do thou my wants supply.

Then will I tread this thorny maze Without one murmuring sigh; For Jesus will direct my ways. And bring his glories nigh.

L. E. Millne.
