To rest in God—to feel that all the life
We have is given of Him; to open our souls
To all the sunlight of His truth;
To grow in shine or shade, in storm or calm,
Knowing that underneath each changing scene
Is the All-Father's everlasting arm.
Not to strive and struggle, as though to grow
Meant agony and grief, but just to watch
The lilies, learn of them, and harmonize
With Nature's God who would our souls should grow
In gracious sweetness, loveliness, and calm,
Knowing that underneath each changing scene
Is the All-Father's everlasting arm.
