/ Rest
"Reach down," I cried, "Dear Jesus, and take my trembling hand. The path I tread is lonely and I do not understand
the landmarks on the road ahead; theyre hidden from my view."
Then Jesus whispered softly. "Fear not, Ill carry you."
So now, though darkness deepens, I am divinely blessed,
for come what may, within His arms, I rest...... I sweetly rest. Alice H. Mortenson
