The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

ALL things that have been, all that are, All things that can be dreamed,

All possible creations, made, Kept faithful, or redeemed,—

All these may draw upon Thy power, Thy mercy may command;

And still outflows Thy silent sea, Immutable and grand.

O little heart of mine! shall pain Or sorrow make thee moan,

When all this God is all for thee, A Father all thine own?
