TRUSTING.

By Whispers of Peace

I do not ask that God will always make My pathway light; I only pray that he will hold my hand Throughout the night. I do not hope to have the thorns removed That pierce my feet; I only ask to find his blessed arms My safe retreat.
If he afflicts me, then, in my distress, Withholds his hand; If all his wisdom I cannot conceive Or understand— I do not think to always know his why Or wherefore, here; But sometime he will take my hand and make His meaning clear.
If in his furnace he refines my heart, To make it pure; I only ask for grace to trust his love— Strength to endure. And if fierce storms beat round me, And the heavens be overcast, I know that he will give his weary one Sweet peace at last.
