We would leave, O God, to Thee, Every anxious care and fear; Thou the troubled thought canst see, Thou canst dry the bitter tear. Thou dost care for us, we know,— Care with all a Father's love; Thou canst make each earthly woe Work to higher bliss above. On this faith we fain would rest; Strengthen Thou its blessed power! Steadfast keep it in our breast, Through each dark and trying hour.
