RESIGNATION

God knoweth best. It is not meet That we should murmur at his will; 'Tis ours to "suffer and be still," Low lying at his feet.
He knoweth best. Our blinded eyes, So dim with unshed tears, can see No light athwart the gloom, till he Shall bid the clouds arise.
He knoweth best. We can not tell Why he doth sever tender ties, We only know that he is wise; He doeth all things well.
He knoweth best. And he will keep, The near or far, his watch between; His tender care, tho all unseen, "Shall slumber not, nor sleep."
He knoweth best. His love hath planned Each step that marks our onward way; 'Tis ours to trust him—come what may, "Our times are in his hand."
He knoweth best; he loveth best; He leadeth us from day to day; 'Tis ours to follow all the way, And leave to him the rest.
