Lord Thou dost bid us
Lean upon Thy strength;
For in our own we're weak,
We dare not trust it Lord.
Strength for the desert path we daily need,

To bear the heat of burning sands;
To stand against the "accuser,"
Lord, Thou know'st, for Thou didst tread the way,
So we may lean on Thine almighty strength,
For thus we're strong.

I wonder oft if other hearts Are weary as my own,
I wonder if they long to flee
Away and be alone
With Thee my God, my Saviour?
I wonder too if there are times
When all seems waste and drear,
And heart and soul dissatisfied
With every thing that's here-
Save Thee, my God, my Saviour?

H. McD.
