MY CONFIDENCE

“You ask me do I fear?
Should that child fear
Whose Father owns earth’s store of precious things;
Whose Will carves destinies, whose Wish sways kings;
Whose Love surpasses fondest mother-love,
And whose unsleeping eye guards from above?
* * *
“My Father is the Lord; I am His child.
His storehouse groans beneath a golden weight,
And I shall never want, though sore my strait.
When danger threatens and the way seems drear,
My Father’s guiding hand is ever near;
His kindly counsel will my way attend
And bring me safely to my journey’s end.”—Unknown.
