“Have faith in God, for He who reigns on high
Hath borne thy grief, and hears the suppliant’s sigh;
Still to His arms, thine only refuge, fly,
Have faith in God!
“Fear not to call on Him, O soul distressed!
Thy sorrow’s whisper woos thee to His breast;
He who is oftenest there is oftenest blest.
Have faith in God!
“Lean not on Egypt’s reeds; slake not thy thirst
At earthly cisterns. Seek the Kingdom first.
