(SONG OF DANGER.)
 
 

(SONG OF DANGER.)

Trust in Him, trust in Him, you who are dreading pain:
God has his roads through troubles, with none of them built in vain;
Never a hope of comfort, but brings us a future gain,
Never a living creature but rises from its fall:
Trust in the Ruler of All.
Trust in Him, trust in Him—you who are dreading to go
Out in the world of mystery, where the dark waters flow;

136

All will appear so simple, you'll wonder you did not know!
Nothing within our universe our universe need appal:
Trust the Protector of All.
Trust in Him, trust in Him—you who are heavy of heart
Lest the dear ones you are loving may feel bereavement's smart:
Souls that adore each other not long are kept apart.
Wherever in the Universe, Love can hear Love's call:
Trust in the Lover of All.
Trust in Him, trust in Him, whether on land or sea,
Whether on mountain or river, always the same is He:
Sorrows He will not give us that joy from us cannot free;
Thinner betwixt the two worlds grows ever the cloud-built wall:
He is the Helper of All.
