PERFECT TRUST.

O, FOR the peace of a perfect trust, My loving God, in Thee; Unwavering faith that never doubts Thou choosest best for me.
Best, tho my plans be all upset, Best, tho the way be rough, Best, tho my earthly store be scant; In Thee I have enough.
Best, tho my health and strength be gone; Tho weary days be mine, Shut out from much that others have, Not my will, Lord, but Thine.
And e’en tho disappointments come, They too are best for me, To wean me from this changing world, And bring me nearer Thee.
O, for the peace of a perfect trust, That looks away from all; That sees Thy hand in everything— In great events or small.
That hears Thy voice—a Father’s voice— Directing for the best; O, for the peace of a perfect trust, A heart with Thee at rest.
