2. Where wilt thou cast thy care? Which hath its own sore ills to bear, 3. No! place thy trust above This shadowy realm of night, 4. His mercies still endure When skies and stars grow dim, His changeless promise standeth sure- 842. MRS. SIGOURNEY. S. M. 1. As changing as the moon To his bright day of gladness soon 2. The night of woe resigns Its darkness and its grief; 3. Yet not to fickle chance Is man's condition given; 4. God measures unto all Their lot of good or ill; Nor this too great, nor that too small, 5. Let man conform his mind To every changing state; Rejoicing now, and now resigned, T. SCOTT. 843. 844. S. M. 1. THOU very present aid In suffering and distress; The mind which still on Thee is stayed, 2. The soul by faith reclined 3. Sorrow and fear are gone, It stills the sighing orphan's moan, 4. It hallows every cross; It sweetly comforts me; 5. Jesus, to whom I fly, Doth all my wishes fill; What though created streams are dry? 6. Stripp'd of each earthly friend, And peace and joy which never end, C. WESLEY. S. M. 1. COMMIT thou all Thy griefs To His sure trust and tender care, Who earth and heaven commands. 2.

Thou on the Lord rely, So safe shalt thou go on; Fix on His work thy steadfast eye, S. M. 1. GREEN pastures and clear streams, J. WESLEY. Christ's flock enjoy, beneath His beams, 2. The mountain and the vale, The morning dew, the evening gale, 3. Secure, amid alarms, From violence or snares, 4. The wounded and the weak He comforts, heals, and binds; 5. Should storms of trouble blow, They to the Rock of Ages go: 6. Conflicts and trials done, His glory they behold, Where Jesus and His flock are one- MONTGOMERY. 1. As the hart, with eager looks, 2. Why art thou cast down, my soul? 847. 7s. MONTGOMERY. 1. HOLY SPIRIT! Lord of light! 3. Thou in toil art comfort sweet; 5. Heal our wounds—our strength renew; 6.
