16737. Endeavor and Endure

1. While strug­gling in a maze of doubt,
With sore temp­ta­tions vexed,
I seemed to hear our Fa­ther say:
"My child, be not per­plexed.
I’ll guide thee with My sleep­less eye;
My word is ev­er sure;
Strength shall be eq­ual to thy day;
Endeavor and en­dure."

2. When great af­flict­ions com­passed me
And laid my loved ones low,
And filled the garden of my joys
With plants of pain and woe,
The Fa­ther’s voice still cheered my heart:
"My child, My word is sure;
Sufficient grace shall meet thy need;
Endeavor and en­dure."

3. "Endeavor and en­dure, My child,
Along the nar­row way;
What tho’ the night be long and dark?
It ends in glor­ious day;
Go brave­ly on, and trust My love;
My prom­is­es are sure;
I’m with thee al­ways, nev­er fear!
Endeavor and en­dure."
