THE LIVING GOD.
Psalm xxxiv. 15.
God sees! I cannot weep unseen;
Then why do I complain?
He numbers every tear; He knows
The cause of all my pain;
He looks upon my misery,
And He will surely comfort me.
Then why do I complain?
He numbers every tear; He knows
The cause of all my pain;
He looks upon my misery,
And He will surely comfort me.
Isaiah lxv. 24.
God hears, though listen none beside!
Then wherefore do I fear?
As if my cry could fail to reach
My God's attentive ear:
"Amen" with my petition blends,
And swift deliverance He sends.
Then wherefore do I fear?
As if my cry could fail to reach
My God's attentive ear:
"Amen" with my petition blends,
And swift deliverance He sends.
Isaiah xlii. 16.
God leads! Then, my soul, thy path
In patient hope pursue!
The world lays snares around my feet,
But Christ will guard me through:
And though mysteriously He guide,
My hand in His, I cannot slide.
In patient hope pursue!
The world lays snares around my feet,
But Christ will guard me through:
And though mysteriously He guide,
My hand in His, I cannot slide.
Luke xi. 13.
God gives! Then why, my soul, so poor?
And thy provision scant?
When God the Giver is so rich,
Why dost thou pine in want?
And thy provision scant?
When God the Giver is so rich,
Why dost thou pine in want?
