何等恩友, 慈仁救主, 負我罪孽擔我憂
何等權利, 能將萬事來到耶穌座前求!
多少平安, 我們坐失, 多少痛苦寃枉受,
都是因為未將萬事, 來到耶穌座前求.

我們有無試探引誘? 有無難過苦關頭?
決不應當因此灰心: 仍當到主座前求!
何處能尋這般良友, 同嘗一切苦與愁?
我們弱點, 主都知道, 放心到主座前求!

我們是否軟弱多愁, 千斤重擔壓肩頭?
主仍做我避難處所, 奔向耶穌座前求!
你若真逢友叛親離, 好向耶穌座前求!
到祂懷中, 祂必保護, 有祂安慰便無憂.

Soon after came a second blow—his fiancée died in a drowning accident on the eve of their wedding in 1844. Later that year he moved to Ontario, where he taught school in Woodstock and Brantford. His plans for marriage were dashed again when his new bride-to-be di… Go to person page >
