And thou shalt know ere long,—

To suffer and be strong.—Longfellow.

apprehension of punishment.—Goldsmith.
The fear of God is freedom, joy,
and peace;
And makes all
ills that vex us here to cease.—Waller.

He planted hope or courage.

and avoidance upon the approach of danger. It is the soul's signal for
rallying.—Beecher.
There is no fear in love; but perfect
love casteth out fear: because
fear hath torment.—1 John 4:18.
Fear is the tax that conscience pays to
guilt.—George
Sewell.
Fear not; for I am with thee.—Isaiah 43:5.
