“His People’s Portion”

By Eva Young

GIVER of all and Guardian blest, Thy promise now fulfill, To every soul by storm distressed Speak the glad word, “Be still.”

In quietness and confidence Behold thy strength shall be, In quietness and confidence, Be still and trust in me.

Behold the lilies of the field, Consider how they grow; Behold, my child, the birds of air Which neither reap nor sow.

Be sure if God so clothes the earth And heeds the raven’s cry, He will receive his people’s prayer, And all their needs supply.

O thou of little faith, be strong, Believe, and thou shalt see, Though scant the harvest field to-day, God can provide for thee!

In humble patience strive to learn Obedience to his will. The Lord’s salvation is at hand; Wait patiently; be still!

—Eva Young.
