In Christ no parting know.

VI

Bring then to Christ your fears,
And tell your sorrows there,
The faintest cry He hears,
And every faltering prayer;
He knows your weight of woe,
Who dwelt with us below.

I

Lord, soothe my anxious, troubled soul,
And bid its doubting cease,
Speak to the crested waves that roll,
To sink in quiet peace;
And bring me to a place of rest,
A haven calm and still,
Where every soul by sin distressed,
May dwell secure from ill.

And laidst them still at rest;
And 'gainst Thy soul the wrath of sin
Its tempest fury cast,
But Thou didst stand, serene within,
Till all the storm had passed.

And dangers round me lie.

Plant Thou my feet therein,
And lead me lest I go astray
In luring paths of sin.

Too long I've found a sad delight
In wandering from Thy care,
Nor feared the sudden fall of night,
The darkness, and the snare.

IV

O Jesus Christ, to Thee my soul
In conscious weakness clings;
Teach me to seek the kind control
That peace and safety brings.

V

And lead me upwards day by day,
Till, night and danger past,
I reach by Thee the living way,
The Father's house at last.

I

My hope is firmly set
On Him Whose truth abides;
The lights of earth may fade and die,
The hopes of earth despairing fly,--
No fea
