619. 3 The Lord is just and kind; C. M. Resignation and Trust. 1 0 LORD, my best desire fulfil, Life, health and comfort to thy will, COWPER 2 Why should I shrink at thy command, 3 No! let me rather freely yield 4 But ah! my inmost spirit cries, 620. L. M. The Same. BOWRING 1 ON light-beams breaking from above, 2 Amidst affliction's thickest host, And sorrow's darkest, mightiest band, 3 Oh, be it mine to feel, to see Through earth's perplexed and varying road, The cords that link us, God, to thee, And draw us to thine own abode. 621.

C. M. Fear not. AVEIING. 1 WHENE'ER the clouds of sorrow roll, When, faint with grief, thy wearied soul Then lift thy voice to God on high, Dry up the trembling tear, 2 When dark temptations spread their snares, And bid thy trembling heart rejoice: 3 And when the final hour shall come, To dwell within thy heavenly home, Be calm; though Jordan's waves may roll, 627.
