Implicit Trust

Just to recollect His love, Always true, Always shining from above, Always new; Just to recognize its light, All enfolding; Just to claim its present might, All upholding; Just to know it as thine own, That no power can take away,— Is not this enough alone For the gladness of the day?
Just to trust and yet to ask Guidance still, Take the training or the task As he will; Just to take the loss or gain As he sends it; Just to take the joy or pain As he lends it. He who formed thee for his praise, Will not miss the gracious aim; So to-day and all thy days Shall be molded for the same.
Just to leave in his dear hand Little things, All we cannot understand, All that stings; Just to let him take the care Sorely pressing, Finding all we let him bear Changed to blessing,— This is all! and yet the way Marked by him who loves thee best,— Secret of a happy day,— Secret of his promised rest.
