TRUST IN GOD.
595

Like dew on drooping blossoms,
     Like breath from Holy place,
Laden with health and healing,
     Come Thy deep words of grace:
"Thy strength is all in leaning
     On One who fights for thee;
Thine is the helpless clinging,
     And mine the victory."


TRUST IN GOD.

I believe in God, and I trust myself in His hands.


     God lives! there rest, my soul;
          God hears! before Him bow;
     God sees! and can control;
          God leads! then follow thou.
               God gives and loves,—
               Look up above!
O heart, be done with all thy care!
     You shall live with Him there.

Schmolke.


May we feel after Thee; still calling out in the darkness, as children waking in the night call "Father," so may we call out for God; and, at times, even if we do not hear Thy voice, may there be the form of a hand resting upon us, and that shall be enough; for we shall take hold of it, though it be in the dark, and it shall guide us to the growing light; for the day shall come, and the release and triumph.


Ease of mind! But I think I can guess at what you mean. God became every thing to you as the world grew nothing.
