He will call on Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.

If you know where to get a good photo of Edwards (head & shoulders, at least 200×300 pixels), or a better one of Johnston,
Dost thou bear a heavy burden,
Knowing not what yet may be?
In perplexity, O listen
To the voice that speaks to thee.
Refrain
Call upon Me, I will answer;
I will show thee mighty things.
From the throne of Love Eternal,
Lo, the wondrous message rings.
Is the pathway dim before thee?
Dost thou fear to walk alone?
Fear thou not, for God will show thee
What before thou hast not known.
Refrain
In the conflict dost thou falter?
Look to Him, thy conquering king;
In His name thou, too, shalt conquer,
And the song of triumph sing.
Refrain
In thy day of joy, victorious,
Or the hour when strength is weak,
When thy life is near the nightfall,
Hark, for God the Lord will speak.
