THE HAND WE HOLD.
One night my JfWe child While fever-tossed and wild With sudden fear, Reached out his hand to me, Sure, ifooztgh he could not eee, *~Thafc I was near. "O papa, hold my handr* Was his low, sweet command Prom out the iright; And with his hand in mine. Held for a EtUe time, Fear took its flight. ReKgkm'e soul is here," Freedom from every fear Is in our grasp. I wou]d the fcsson. tear. For childlike trust I yearnwIMore faith, I ask. u Father BUrine," I pray, *Holc( thou my hand each day And taaifce me bold. Oh, guide me, as thou mail, And let me ever trust hand I hold." —The Rev. Daniel H. Overton, CUrng*.
