Precious thought—
my Father knoweth!
In His love I rest:
For whate’er my Father doeth
Must be always best;
Well I know the heart that planneth
Naught but good for me;
Joy and sorrow interwoven,
Love in all I see.
Precious thought—
my Father knoweth!
Careth for His child;
Bids me nestle closer to Him,
When the storms best wild;
Though my earthly hopes are shattered,
And the teardrops fall,
Yet He is Himself my solace,
Yea, my “all in all.”
Oh, to trust Him
then more fully!
Just to simply move
In the conscious calm enjoyment
Of the Father’s love;
Knowing that life’s chequered pathway
Leadeth to His rest;
Satisfied the way He taketh
Must be always best.
