"MY INFIRMITY".
Came a voice, like a dove's in the woodland,
So tenderly:
"When father and mother forsake thee,
Look thou above;
The Father Eternal remembers
The child of His love.
So tenderly:
"When father and mother forsake thee,
Look thou above;
The Father Eternal remembers
The child of His love.
"The shadows have gathered around thee,
Born of the light;
Had the sun never risen to warm thee,
Where were thy night?
Remember the springs in the desert,
Arid and drear;
For thee hath the wilderness blossomed,
Why dost thou fear?"
Born of the light;
Had the sun never risen to warm thee,
Where were thy night?
Remember the springs in the desert,
Arid and drear;
For thee hath the wilderness blossomed,
Why dost thou fear?"
There are treasures beneath the dark waters;
Seek thou, and learn;
Hidden riches in secret places
Thou must discern.
And think not He changes or chides thee;
Comforts decline;
But Christ made the covenant blessings
Eternally thine.

"He gave thee His promise to keep thee;
Can He deceive?
He granted His Word and His Spirit;
Only believe.
Can He deceive?
He granted His Word and His Spirit;
Only believe.
