Rest in God's love:'tis joy to know
His way is best, whatever betide,
Although thy desert path be drear,
'Mid dangers He will safely guide.

When sorrows dark around thee press,
Enfolding thee in shades of night,
Rest in His love, and thou shall find
The Lord "thine everlasting light! "

How rich our blessings "in His love,"
A table of refreshing spread;
All things are ours, for we are His,
Who feast upon the heavenly Bread.

How sweet that rest-secure and calm
Though cares may press us. 'Mid the strife
'Tis perfect peace in Him to dwell,
One with our Lord, Himself our life.

Rest in His love-that love divine
Poured out so free on Calvary's cross!
Walking with Him we count the world
With all its fleeting joys but loss.

To do His will be our delight,
To " follow Jesus in the way,"
Looking beyond by faith's clear light
To life with Him in endless day. A. W.
