HYMN OF TRUST.

By Sigourney

My God, I would not doubt Thy wisdom or thy grace, Although the clouds may sometimes veil The brightness of thy face.

I would not dread the hand That doth my life control, Even if the instruments are sharp That search and try the soul.

I would not shrink to yield The treasure or the friend, That in thy plenitude of love, Thou didst vouchsafe to lend.

I would not e'er forsake The strength that cannot fail, A poor, blind wanderer of the dust, An atom on the gale.

I would not plant my hope Where all things change and die; But, anchored on thy word of truth, Look upward to the sky. [Sigourney.
