Bear on, my soul! on God rely;
Deliverance will come;
A thousand ways the Father hath
To bring His children home.

3 And Thou, my heavenly Friend and Guide,
Hast kindly led me on;
Taught me to rest my fainting head
Upon Thy heart alone.

4 So comforted and so sustained,
With dark events I strove,
And found, when rightly understood,
All, messengers of love.

533. 11 & 10s. M. *

THE MIGHT OF FAITH.

1 We will not weep; for God is standing by us,
And tears will blind us to the blessed sight;
We will not doubt,--if darkness still doth try us,
Our souls have promise of serenest light.

2 We will not faint,--if heavy burdens bind us,
They press no harder than our souls can bear,
The thorniest way is lying still behind us,
We shall be braver for the past despair.

3 O, not in doubt shall be our journey's ending,
Sin with its fears shall leave us at the last,
All its best hopes in glad fulfilment blending,
Life shall be with us when the Death is past.

4 Help us, oh Father!--when the world is pressing
On our frail hearts, that faint without their friend,
Help us, oh Father! let Thy constant blessing
Strengthen our weakness,--till the joyful end.

534. 8 & 7s. M. Montgomery.

Faith.

1 Call the Lord thy sure salvation,
Rest beneath the Almighty's shade;
In His secret habitation
Dwell, nor ever be dismayed!

2 There no tumult can alarm thee,
Thou shalt dread no hidden snare,
Guile nor violence shall harm thee,
In eternal safeguard there.

3 There, though winds and waves are swelling,
God, thy hope, shall bear through all;
Plague shall not come nigh thy dwelling,
Thee no evil shall befall.

4 He shall charge His angel legions
Watch and ward o'er thee to keep,
Though thou walk through hostile regions,
Though in desert wilds thou sleep.

5 Since, with pure and firm affection,
Thou on God hast set thy love,
With the wings of His protection
He shall shield thee from above.

535. 8 & 7s. M. Moravian.
