4 If done beneath thy laws, Even servile labors shine; Hallowed is toil, if this the cause, The meanest work divine. 467. 8s. 7s. & 4s. M. Oliver. God the Pilgrim's Guide and Strength. 1 Guide me, O thou great Jehovah, Pilgrim through this mortal land: I am weak, but thou art mighty; Hold me with thy powerful hand: Bread of heaven, Feed me till I want no more. 2 Open now the crystal fountain, Whence the healing streams do flow; Let the fiery, cloudy pillar Lead me all my journey through: Strong Deliverer, Be thou still my strength and shield. 3 When I tread the verge of Jordan, Bid my anxious fears subside; Bear me through the swelling current; Land me safe on Canaan's side: Songs of praises I will ever give to thee. 468. C. M. Wreford. Prayer for Faith. 1 Lord! I believe; thy power I own, Thy word I would obey; I wander comfortless, and lone, When from thy truth I stray. 2 Lord! I believe; but gloomy fears Sometimes bedim my sight; I look to thee with prayers and tears, And cry for strength and light. 3 Lord! I believe; but oft, I know, My faith is cold and weak; Strengthen my weakness, and bestow The confidence I seek! 4 Yes, I believe; and only thou Canst give my soul relief; Lord! to thy truth my spirit bow, Help thou my unbelief! 469. S. M. Watts. Safety in God. 1 When overwhelmed with grief, My heart within me dies; Helpless and far from all relief, To heaven I lift mine eyes. 2 O lead me to the rock That's high above my head; And make the covert of thy wings My shelter and my shade. 3 Within thy presence, Lord, I ever would abide; Thou art the tower of my defence, The refuge where I hide. 470. C. M. Montgomery. Prayer for Grace in Trial. 1 Father of all our mercies, thou In whom we move and live, Hear us in heaven, thy dwelling, now, And answer, and forgive. 2 When, harassed by ten thousand foes, Our helplessness we feel, O, give the weary soul repose, The wounded spirit heal. 3 When dire temptations gather round And threaten or allure, By storm or calm, in thee be found A refuge strong and sure. 4 When age advances, may we grow In faith, in hope, and love, And walk in holiness below To holiness above. 5 When earthly joys and cares depart, Desire and envy cease, Be thou the portion of our heart,-- In thee may we have peace. 471. L. M. Roscoe. The Solace of Faith. 1 When human hopes and joys depart, I give thee, Lord, a contrite heart; And on my weary spirit steal The thoughts that pass all earthly weal.
