“The fellowship of His sufferings” Phil. iii, 10. “Digon mewn llifeiriant dyfroedd,” In the depth of tribulation, Midst temptation’s hottest fire, My Redeemer’s consolation Answers all my heart’s desire. In the desert dreading danger And my covert enemy, Faith reminds me of the manger And the tree of Calvary. When by Satan sorely tempted To make earthly gain my goal, Then, unless by grace prevented, I am periling my soul. O for help to keep attending To the covenant of God, And to fall asleep depending On My Saviour’s precious Blood! Lord, I come to Thee regretting Not my mortal malady Half so much as my besetting Sin of self-sufficiency. When I bow before Thy table, Brighten Thou my sight to see In Thy Rite The Veritable Lamb of God Who died for me.
