  • "Commit thy way unto the Lord and trust!"
    Ah, it is here we fail!  We give the wheel
    Of our small bark to Him: but then we trust
    Our hand upon His hand,
    And dare to stand
    Beside our Master, lest He wreck our keel.

    "Commit thy way unto the Lord and trust!"
    Leave all to Him; believe He knows thy course,
    Thy dangers, and thy safety-all-then just
    Abandon all to Him:
    So shalt thou skim,
    Borne briskly on before the Sirit's force.

    "Commit thy way unto the Lord and trust!"
    There is an "also" we too ot forget,
    And so are plagued and worried.  Oh, we must
    "Trust also," then our soul
    Shall cease to roll
    In restlessness and reason and regret!

    Commit! and then, committed, trust His Word!
    Has He not said that He will bring thee through?
    Trust His strong arm; and when wild storms are heard,
    Believe He holds them still
    By His strong will.
    Trust Hin, the Wise, the Faithful,, and the True.

    Trust Him to manage all that thou dost now
    Commit to Him-the ship-the sails-the sea-
    The sailors, thy strange crew.  And ask not how
    He will do all for thee,
    But trustful be.
    Lie down and rest from anxious worry free.  - Unknown.
