Ye believe in God—believe also in Me.
He in heaven who ever liveth,
Thus hath spoken: “Not to you
Give I, as the vain world giveth,
Fleeting things and worthless too;
But my peace, serene, unfading,
Round your earthly steps shall shine;
All your heav'nward way pervading
With a stream of light divine.

But my peace, serene, unfading,

All your heav'nward way pervading
With a stream of light divine.
“Be not troubled, sad, or cheerless;
Trust in me, and trust in God—
He shall lead you calm and fearless,
Through life's dark and varied road:
He shall bring you to the mansion
Where the spirit, blest and free,
Revels in its own expansion—
Trust in God, and trust in me.”
