WALK WITH HIM

               Know, troubled soul, that Jesus too

                   From sorrow sought release;

               Your grief is pale compared to His,

                    So pale it seems to cease.

               Dry up those tears, accept His love,

                     And walk with him peace.

                 Though turmoil rages round about

                  And darkness clouds the night,

                Jesus gives love and peace and joy

                 Which self obscures from sight.

                 Look up to Him, accept His love,

                   And walk with Him to light.

               Written to myself when depressed.
