366. Consolation in Sorrow.
1
Christians find rich consolation,Solid ground, on which to rest;
Trusting in the great salvation,
Not deserted, though opprest.
2
When they bow beneath affliction,Tempests threatening to o'erwhelm,
They have, still, the sweet conviction
That their Father guides the helm!
3
Though they feel the weight of sorrow,Tasting oft the cup of grief,
God, they know, can, on the morrow,
Wipe their tears, and send relief.
4
Lord! though we deserve thy chiding,On thy Son our souls we cast;
In his blood, alone, confiding
To obtain thy smile at last.
