I have had some of the darkest days of my life while on this voyage of
life, but when it is dark Jesus says, "Peace, be still and fear not, for
I will pilot thee."
And then my heart can sing:
"Jesus, Saviour, pilot me
Over life's tempestuous sea,
Unknown waves before me roll,
Hiding rocks and treacherous shoals.
Chart and compass come from Thee,
Jesus, Saviour, pilot me."
I know that He has led me through paths seen and unseen and has been my
pilot, for we have been called to pass through many a dark trial, but
God has been able for it all.
My dear mother had four of her children called home to heaven within a
short time. Some of them left her for the land of love in the same
month, and there seemed like nothing but God's displeasure on us, but it
was God's love to us, for we know that they are safe from all harm and
danger in this world of sin and distress. Some of them I never saw more
after landing in this city, but I shall see them and know them when I
shall have fought the blessed battle on this side, and the victory shall
be on the Lord's side. Then I can sing with the angels above:
"Crown Him, Crown Him, angels.
Crown Him, Crown Him, King of Kings.
Crown Him, Crown Him, angels.
Crown Him, Crown Him, Crown the Saviour King of Kings.
