He Giveth More Grace - Darlene put this hymn to memory right before she was taken. She couldn't sleep one night, so she spent time memorizing this poem which some missionary friends had put to music. God knew she would need it later as she was in the camps. When she thought she could not handle another interrogation, these words came to mind. God reminded her that His grace would be sufficient for each trial. He giveth, and giveth, and giveth again.
He giveth more grace when the burdens grow greater,
He sendeth more strength when the labors increase;
To added affliction He addeth His mercy;
To multiplied trials, His multiplied peace.
When we have exhausted our store of endurance,
When our strength has failed ere the day is half done,
When we reach the end of our hoarded resources,
Our Father's full giving is only begun.
Fear not that thy need shall exceed His provision,
Our God ever yearns His resources to share;
Lean hard on the arm everlasting, availing;
The Father both thee and thy load will upbear.
His love has no limit; His grace has no measure.
His pow'r has no boundary known unto men;
For out of His infinite riches in Jesus,
He giveth, and giveth, and giveth again!
