Trusting in my Father’s wise

bestowment

I’ve no cause for worry or for fear

He whose heart is kind beyond all measure

Gives unto each day what He deems best

Lovingly its part of pain and pleasure

Mingling toil with peace and rest.

Every day the Lord Himself is near me

For a special mercy for each hour

All my cares he fain would bear and cheer me

He whose name is counselor and power

The protection of His child and treasure

Is a charge that on Himself he laid

As thy days thy strength shall be in measure

This the pledge to me he made.

Help me then in every tribulation

So to trust Thy promises O Lord

That I lose not faith’s sweet consolation

Offered me within Thy Holy Word

Help me when toil and trouble meeting

E’er to take as from a Father’s hand

One by one the days the moments fleeting

Till I reach the promised land.
