Why thus great Providence arraign?
Poor, feeble heart! Thy troubles still.
And hide thyself in God's great will.
I know, it is thy trying hour;
Temptations throng with threatening power;
And many are the griefs that shroud
Thy pathway with their mid-night cloud.
But Jesus, dear and honored name.
Endured the toil, the cross, the shame;
And God, who guarded Him, shall be,
At last, the arm of strength to thee.
'Tis true, He now thy strength doth try.
Like birds that teach their young to fly;
But when thou sinkest, He will bring,
Beneath thy fall, his own great wing.
— Christ in the Soul (1872) LXXXII.
Hello, Craig Adams. I found your post in this way. I have an old copy of Daniel Steele's book, The Gospel of the Comforter, and recently was perusing it again. In the preface Dr. Steele mentioned having to exclude the chapter on Assurance Through the Spirit, which always disappoints to read. Anyway, I decided to search online if he ever did print that particular chapter elsewhere, and came across your site. RR
