"My times are in Thy hand." -- Psalm XXXI.15
Father, I know that all my life
...
In heavenly love abiding, no change my heart shall fear.
And safe in such confiding, for nothing changes here.
The storm may roar without me, my heart may low be laid,
But God is round about me, and can I be dismayed?
...
My heart is resting, O my God—
I will give thanks and sing;
My heart is at the secret source
Of every precious thing.
...
My Savior, on the word of truth
In earnest hope I live;
I ask for all the precious things
Thy boundless love can give.
...
Tender mercies, on my way
Falling softly like the dew,
Sent me freshly every day,
I will bless the Lord for you.
