Peace, not in sleep, but in tranquil expectancy of good:
Security, not in caution, but in God's presence understood;
Faith, as the airman knows faith, flying in on the beam;
Hope, born of certainty that evil is only a dream.
Courage that comes of humility, knowing we stand
Upheld by no power of our own, but by God's powerful hand;
Allegiance that holds us to Him because well we know
There is none else in heaven or earth to whom men can go.
Gladness, because the conclusion is clear from the start
That victory rests with the steadfast, the happy of heart.
Gratitude, because ere the fullness of promise appears
We know we are precious to Him, and we know that He hears.
