“THEY COMFORT ME!”

After a day in the shadows, A day in the depths of pain, How sweet in the dusk of evening, To hear God's promise again.
The voice that hushes the tempest, And quiets the raging sea, Is never too grand for whispers, Too mighty to comfort me.
It speaks in the breath of evening, And gladdens the river's hymn: “Be trustful, my child; my watchful care Shall live when the stars grow dim.
“Heaven may fade as the sunset, The earth may vanish like mist, But never a child of my kingdom Lives shelterless, lost, or unblest.”
And hearing his word so tender, I rest in his arm of might; Trials and tears are forgotten, All peacefully cometh the night.
