 HOPE IN GOD.

hope is in the living God! Oh may His shield be spread In every time of need, around My unprotected head. His are the Ocean and the Land, And man's frail, dying race, And those who walk in pride, His Hand Is able to abase. But I have nought of which to boast, No refuge where to flee, An atom mid the mighty main; Have mercy, Lord, on me.
