“I AM STRONG IN HIM.”

“I am strong in Him,” said a lovely child,
With a feeble voice and a visage mild,
Tho’ on his brow was the seal of death,
And he soon must yield his vital breath.HHHH 97.2

“I am strong in Him”-tho’ on a couch of pain,
For many years had the sufferer lain;
But never repined, tho’ deprived of his rest;
For the will of his Father he thought was the best.HHHH 97.3

“I am strong in Him”-tho’ in a lowly cot,
Where Poverty reigned, to dwell was his lot,
Where nought of earthly happiness flowed,
But a mother’s love on her son bestowed.HHHH 97.4

“I am strong in Him,” said the dying boy,
As his eye lit up with heavenly joy;
For he leaned on one who is mighty to save,
And could carry him safe thro’ the gloom of the grave.HHHH 97.5

“I am strong in Him” how it lifts the soul
Above the world, with its vain control,
And bids us trust in that sacred Friend,
Whose care for his children never will end.HHHH 98.1

“I am strong in Him”-be it mine to feel
The weight of glory these words reveal,
In each varying scene who their power can tell,
For if strong in God, then will all be well!HHHH 98.2
