How can I say,
“Thou knowest best,”
When I am grieving
In the test?
How can I say,
“Thy way is right,”
When I am drained,
Too weak to fight?

O Lord, if I
Should challenged be,
Give me the faith
That trusts in Thee.
Let me go forth
From where I stand,
And leave the matter
In Thy hand.

by Roxie Lusk Smith

“Keep this for me.”
What child has not said this,
And placed a treasure in his Mother’s hand
With strict injunction she should keep it safe
Till he return?
He knows with her it will be safe;
No troubled thought or anxious fear besets his mind,
And off he runs light-hearted to his play.

If children can so trust, why cannot we,
And place our treasures, too, in God’s safe hand;
Our hopes, ambitions, needs, and those we love,
Just see them, in his all embracing care,
And say with joyous heart, “They are with Thee.”
