“Could we with ink the ocean fill,
Were the whole sky of parchment made,
Were every blade of grass a quill,
And every man a scribe by trade,
To write the love of God above,
Would drain the ocean dry,
Nor could the scroll contain the whole,
Though stretched from sky to sky.”
“We may trust him fully
All for us to do;
Those who trust him wholly
Find him wholly true.”
“‘Be still; be strong to-day.’
But, Lord, to-morrow?
What of to-morrow, Lord?
Shall there be rest from toil,
Be truce from sorrow?
‘Did I not die for thee?
Do I not live for thee?
Leave me to-morrow.'”
