Since He hath led us hitherto,
And hath not failed us, ever,—
Since He hath shown us what to do,
When clouds were thick and sunbeams few,
Then we will doubt Him—never!
God changes not as years roll by.
But Love enfolds Eternity!
Safe in the shadow of His hand,
He tenderly doth hide us;
Though strife and tumult till the land,
And fears rise like a hostile band,
No harm can there betide us!
He whispers to the storm, "Be still"
And wind and wave obey His will.
