HE HEARS.

By Paul Gerhardt

Thy thoughts are good, and thou art kind, E'en when we think it not; How many an anxious, faithless mind Sits grieving o'er its lot, And frets and pines by day and night, As God has lost it out of sight, And all its wants forgot.
Ah, no! God ne'er forgets his own, His heart is far too true; He ever seeks their good alone; His love is daily new; And though thou deem that things go ill, Yet he is just and holy still, And all things he can do.
The Lord is ever close and near To those who keep his word; Whene'er they cry to him in fear, Their prayer is surely heard; He knoweth well who love him well; His love shall yet their clouds dispel, And grant the hope deferred.
— Paul Gerhardt.
