“GOD KNOWS!”

When heavy clouds o’ercast my sky, When fierce and strong the storm-wind blows, Out of the depths I look on high, And say, “God knows.”
He spreads the dark and threatening veil, He shuts my sun away from sight, He will not let my courage fail In darkest night.
This is my strength when ills increase; My shield against my stoutest foes; Oh! sweet it is within His peace To say, “God knows.”
He, in the sharpest pangs I bear, Remembers that I am but dust; Therefore I say, beneath His care, “God knows; I trust.”
Even my tears by love divine Are measured; every drop that flows Is needful for this soul of mine; Wherefore, “God knows.”
The bitterest doubt, the deepest dread, Are cradled here to calm repose; For all my bliss is sealed and sure In this—“God knows.”
—Boston Recorder.
