Cast Down but Not Destroyed.

By R. Smith

He who's honest, though in darkness, With no ray of light from Heaven, Will pursue a course consistent With the blessings God has given.
He may feel himself forsaken, Lost and cast out by his Lord; But he'll follow on to know him, By adhering to his word.
God's own Son once felt forsaken When he said, My God, my God; But he bowed in sweet submission To his Father's chastening rod.
Thus may we endure our sufferings, Knowing God is ever just, Though in anguish deep our portion, In no other refuge trust.
When 'tis best, God will deliver, Wherefore art thou now cast down? Hope in God, you yet shall praise him, For he holds for you a crown.
R. Smith. West Wilton, N. H.
