“We have a friend and protector, from whom, if we do not ourselves depart from Him, nor power nor spirit can separate us. In His strength let us proceed on our journey, through the storms, and troubles, and dangers of the world. However they may rage and swell, though the mountains shake at the tempests, our rock will not be moved: we have one friend who will never forsake us; one refuge, where we may rest in peace and stand in our lot at the end of the days. That same is He who liveth, and was dead; who is alive forevermore; and hath the keys of hell and of death.” IfsWorldMayEndsGodSpiritHellAliveTroubleJourneyRocksDangerKeysMountainMovedStormRageShakesRefugeTempestForsakeProtectorRest In PeaceOne Friend Author:Reginald Heber
