(Said to Have Been Written by a Converted Infidel.)
“I’VE tried in vain a thousand ways,
My fears to quell, my hopes to raise;
But what I need, the Bible says,
Is ever only Jesus.
“My soul is night, my heart is steel―
I cannot see, I cannot feel;
For light, for life, I must appeal
In simple faith to Jesus.
“He died, He lives, He reigns, He pleads;
There’s love in all His words and deeds;
There’s all a guilty sinner needs
For evermore in Jesus.
“Though some should sneer, and some should blame,
I’ll go with all my guilt and shame;
I’ll go to Him because His Name,
Above all names, is Jesus.”
ANON.
