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.
“Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.” (Hebrews 7:25)
