532. Through Cross to Light

Bear on, my soul! the bitter cross
Of every trial here
Shall lift thee to thy heaven above,
But shall not enter there.

Bear on, my soul! on God rely;
Deliverance will come;
A thousand ways the Father hath
To bring His children home.

And Thou, my heavenly Friend and Guide,
Hast kindly led me on;
Taught me to rest my fainting head
Upon Thy heart alone.

So comforted and so sustained,
With dark events I strove,
And found, when rightly understood,
All, messengers of love.
