quote · Legacy record
In the dark winter of affliction’s hour, When summer friends and pleasures haste away, And the wrecked heart perceives how frail each power It made a refuge, and believed a stay; When man, all wild and weak is seen to be— There’s none like Thee, O Lord! there’s none like Thee! Thou in adversity canst be a sun; Thou hast a healing balm, a sheltering tower, The peace, the truth, the life, the love of One, Nor wound, nor grief, nor storm can overpower Gifts of a King; gifts, frequent and yet free,— There’s none like Thee, O Lord! none, none like Thee!
