Trust in God.

Leave God to order all thy ways, And hope in him whate’er betide; Thou’lt find him in the evil days Thy all-sufficient strength and guide. Who trusts in God’s unchanging love, Builds on the rock that nought can move.

What can these anxious cares avail, These never-ceasing moans and sighs? What can it help us to bewail Each painful moment as it flies? Our cross and trials do but press The heavier for our bitterness.

Only our restless heart keep still, And wait in cheerful hope, content To take whate’er his gracious will, His all-discerning love hath sent; Nor doubt our inmost wants are known To Him who chose us for his own.

He knows when joyful hours are best, He sends them as he sees it meet; When thou hast borne its fiery test, And now are freed from all deceit, He comes to thee all unaware, And makes thee own his loving care.

Sing, pray, and swerve not from his ways, But do thine own part faithfully; Trust his rich promises of grace, So shall it be fulfilled in thee; God never yet forsook in need The soul that trusted him indeed. —Sel.
