God is My Refuge.

By Mary M. Buckland

WHY should I murmur or complain, When grief or trials come? Why should I shrink from trusting him, Who'll safely lead me home? Why should I yield a place to fear? God is my refuge, ever near.
Why should I tremble, though the storm Grows dark and wilder still? And though the surges rolling high My cup with sorrows fill? I'll trust in Jesus whom I love, God is my refuge, sure, above.
I will not fear, though friends forsake And leave me all alone, If Jesus is my friend, I'm safe, And he'll conduct me home. I'll trust my Saviour's love and power, God is my refuge in that hour.
I will not fear though foes deride, And mock at all my grief; I'll trust in Jesus; at his side I'm sure to find relief. Though I must brave the wrath of men, God is my refuge even then.
In all my trials I'll not fear, But trust my all with God. I'll lean upon his gracious arm, Supported by his word. He will my fainting heart sustain, Till I his glorious kingdom gain. MARY M. BUCKLAND. Albion, N. Y.
