32*. In Weakness and Trial

11s.
by R. Decourcy
1
In weakness and trial,
 
With God we may plead;
 
No fear of denial,
 
We’re sure to succeed:
 
For, though we oft grieve Him,
 
His promise is clear,
 
And love will believe Him:
 
Our Father will hear.
2
’Gainst the giant-like might
 
Of our foes we can bring,
 
As our weapons of fight,
 
But a stone and a sling.
 
Should this have dismayed us,
 
Our souls it may cheer,
 
That, called on to aid us,
 
Our Father will hear.
3
Our calls may be faint
 
As a child’s timid cry,
 
Our hearts’ feeble plaint
 
Scarce venture on high;
 
Yet Christ for us pleading,
 
We may persevere;
 
Through Him interceding,
 
Our Father will hear.
