The Father's Care

By Charles C. Belgrave

CHARLES C. BELGRAVE
CHILD of my tenderest, loving care, Though darkness oft my face may hide, My hand shall be outstretched to thee, My arm unseen shall be thy guide.
In sore temptation’s trying hour, When Satan’s wiles thy soul ensnare, Doubt not the presence of my power, But trust thou to my loving care.
By scenes of grief and wrong distressed, By friends forsaken and alone, My strength shall give thee peaceful rest, I will not let thee go forlorn.
Then faint no more in unbelief; Trust thou my love, know my way best; Thy heart shall find a sweet relief If thou but on my promise rest.
O Lord! increase my faith in thee, That I may place my hand in thine; Whate’er the path of life may be, To know, to trust thee is sublime.
