Let us arise, and go up to Bethel; and I will make there an altar unto God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way which I went.—Genesis, xxxv. 3.

I called upon the Lord in distress: the Lord answered me, and set me in a large place.—Psalm cxviii. 5.

There shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.—Luke, xxi. 23.

Through all the changing scenes of life,

In trouble and in joy,

The praises of my God shall still

My heart and tongue employ.

Of His deliverance I will boast,

Till all who are distrest

From my example comfort take,
