Page 9 - The Diary of A. H. W. Behrens

Memories of my life 1854 – 1938 – 1943 ____________________
I lay on Thee, my God and Saviour blest,
the weight which has my failing strength oppressed, too ponderous to endure;
My worldly state with trusting faith I place
in Thine o’er-ruling Hand, throughout my race
my tried support and sure,
which, from my youth, has never failed to guide
the changeful course of life’s eventful tide.
