Say Not, My Soul<\/b><\/p>\n
Say not, my soul, \u201cFrom whence Can God relieve my care? Remember that Omnipotence Hath servants everywhere.<\/p>\n
His help is always sure, His methods seldom guessed; Surprise will give it zest. Delay will make our pleasure pure;<\/p>\n
His wisdom is sublime, His heart profoundly kind; God never is before His time, And never is behind.<\/p>\n
Hast thou assumed a load Which none will bear with thee? And art thou bearing it for God, And shall He fail to see?<\/p>\n

Jehovah Nissi: The Lord my Banner (Ex. 17:15)<\/b><\/p>\n
By whom was David taught To aim the deadly blow, When he Goliath fought, And laid the Gittite low? Nor sword nor spear the stripling took, But chose a pebble from the brook.<\/p>\n
\u2018Twas Israel\u2019s God and king Who sent him to the fight; Who gave him strength to sling, And skill to aim aright. Ye feeble saints, your strength endures, Because young David\u2019s God is yours.<\/p>\n
Who order\u2019d Gideon forth, To storm the invaders\u2019 camp, With arms of little worth, A pitcher and a lamp? The trumpets made his coming known, And all the host was overthrown.<\/p>\n
Oh! I have seen the day, When with a single word, God helping me to say, \u201cMy trust is in the Lord,\u201d My soul hath quell\u2019d a thousand foes, Fearless of all that could oppose.<\/p>\n
But unbelief, self-will, Self-righteousness, and pride, How often do they steal My weapon from my side! Yet David\u2019s Lord, and Gideon\u2019s friend, Will help his servant to the end.<\/p>\n
