TRUST--1917

What if sometimes the path of duty leads
Where sorrows or where suffering clouds the day?
Dear Lord, I know that Thou art near to me,
To lift me up, should I faint by the way.

'Tis by Thy strength I find it not too hard
To do those things that Thou wouldst have me do;
Thy love and promises of peace I find
The light beyond the shadows, shining through.
