	HOPE AND COMFORT

	4 Though clouds may surround us, our God is our light; Though, storms rage around us, our God is our might; So faint, yet pursuing, still onward we come; The Lord is our leader, and heaven is our home. Rev. J. N. Darby, 1858 450


	~iougn waves ana ciouas ana s tonus,

	He gently clears thy way: Wait thou His time, so shall this niSoon end in joyous day. 3 What though thou rulest not, Yet heaven and earth and hell Proclaim, God sitteth on the throneAnd ruleth all things well.	His counsel shall appear, When fully He the work hath wrought That caused thy needless fear. 5 Let us, in life, in death, Thy steadfast truth declare, And publish with our latest breath Thy love and guardian care. Rev. Paul Gerhardt, 1656. Tr. by Rev. John Wesley, 1739

	DOWNFIELD S. M. 2 Sorrow and fear are gone, Whene'er Thy face appears; It stills the sighing orphan's moan, And dries the widow's tears. 3 It hallows every cross; It sweetly comforts me; Helps me to bear my every loss, And find my all in Thee.	4 Jesus, to Whom I fly, Doth all my wishes fill; In vain the creature streams are dry; I have the fountain still. 5 Stripped of my earthly friends, I find them all in One, And peace, and joy that never ends, And heaven, in Christ alone.

	Rev. Charles Weslev, 1749
