Is the Spirit good seed sowing?
Let it grow.
Do not fret about its growing,
God doth know.
As the earth its fruitage bringeth
Perfect, whole,
So blade, ear, and full corn springeth
In thy soul.
Trust it all unto His keeping;
In Him rest.
He will for thee—waking, sleeping
Do the best.
Do the dashing angry billows
Bring thee fear?
Courage thou wilt have, remembering,
He is near.
While unseen the Master holdeth
Firm, the helm.
Nothing, while thy hand He claspeth,
Can o'erwhelm.
Stormy winds and waves obeying
Do His will.
Listen to Him sweetly saying,
Peace, be still.
