When
the cup is turned to wormwood,
And the wormwood
turns to gall;
When your walking
turns to stumbling,
And the stumbling
to a fall;
When you've climbed
above the mountains,
Yet the Alps rise
rough and tall;
DON'T QUIT.
When
the path ahead is crooked,
And the road's
too rough to tread;
When the best
upon the table
Is replaced
by sorrow's bread;
When you've
crossed some trobled waters,
Yet a Marah's
just ahead; (Exodus 15;16)
DON'T QUIT.
When
the vultures have descended
And disturbed
your downy nest;
When sweet fruit
has changed to thistle,
While the thorns
disturb your rest;
When a deep
to deep is calling,
And when failure
seems your best;
DON'T QUIT.
|
When
the Lord has cleansed the table;
Then He takes
away the fat;
And the best wine
has been taken,
Till you find
an empty vat;
When another fills
the throne room
Where once you
proudly sat;
DON'T QUIT.
When
your health is feeling sickly,
And the medicine
tastes bad;
When your fellowship
is lonly,
And your happiness
is sad;
When your warmth
is getting colder,
And in clouds
your sunshine's clad;
DON'T QUIT.
When
you find your wins are losses,
And that all
your gains are lacks;
When ill things
never come alone,
And your troubles
run in packs;
When your soul
is bruised and battered
From the Tempter's
fierce attacks;
DON'T QUIT.
