“HE KNOWETH.”

By W. Wetton Cox

“He knoweth.”— As God all knowing—yet as man! And knowing this, tried heart, fret not Nor be sad; Each step in sunshine or in shade, His eye foresees, his hand directs; So be glad.
“He reigneth”— Whatever is—all life’s details, Designed or else permitted are, By his will; Each circumstance, however small, His purpose veils, who marks thy “way,” So be still.
“He ruleth”— Yea, so overrules that all things, Made obedient, work together His behest; Love’s purpose wrought, thy trials cease, The gold refined the furnace leaves, So just rest.
“He sitteth”— Blest word, with twofold meaning fraught, His work for thee is done—in thee Still goes on; His peace, his power, both thine; until The “way” made perfect, ends in heaven, Then the crown.
—W. Wetton Cox.
