My Trust.

By Emily L. Canright

I'll take no thought, my Father reigns on high. His watchful care I feel is over me. He knows my every need, he hears my cry, O, help me, Lord, and I will trust in thee. O, give me grace, that in the coming days I may but do thy will and sound thy praise.

I take no thought, so swift the years pass by; Time's opportunities will soon be fled, Oh! I would fain improve them as they fly, Living in Christ, to earth's allurements dead. The world with all its pleasures I resign, Only assure me, Lord, that I am thine.

I'll take no thought, my Father reigns on high, He even notes the sparrows when they fall; Of how much greater value then am I, For whom Christ died—yes, I will trust my all. Forgive the past, my Father, I implore; Make me thy willing child forevermore.
