God's Ways

By Francis McLellan Wilcox

F. M. WILCOX
CLOSER than a brother dear, Than any friend, however near, Inspiring hope, dispensing cheer, So standeth God,
Standeth watching o’er his own In noontide’s hour, in night so lone, He noteth every tear and moan; So watcheth God.
He scans the battle-field of life, He marks the heroes in the strife Who bravely stand where sin is rife; So seeth God.
Sometimes the light reveals his grace. Sometimes the darkness veils his face, He seems withdrawn sometimes a space When he’s most near.
’Tis ours to trust where he shall guide, In good or ill, whate’er betide, Knowing he standeth by our side In every hour.
