507. L. M. Beard's Coll.

God's Care our Comfort.

1Oh! sweet it is to know, to feel,

In all our gloom, our wanderings here,

No night of sorrow can conceal

Man from thy notice, from thy care.

2When disciplined by long distress,

And led through paths of fear and woe,

Say, dost thou love thy children less?

No! ever-gracious Father, no!
