When sin and fear seem rampant in our midst,
We should not heed the tale these tempters tell,
But take the lesson of the Shunammite,
And know, with steadfast joy, that all is well.
For as we calmly hold to what we know,
The light of Truth replaces darkened thought;
We see the wondrous law of God's design,
And man the perfect work that God hath wrought.
