How sweet it is my child,
To live by simple faith,
Just to believe that God will do
Exactly what he saith.
Does faith mean to believe
That God will surely do
Exactly what he says, Mamma,
Just as I know that you
Will give me what I ask,
Because you love me well,
And listen patiently, to hear
Whatever I may tell?
Yes; you may trust in God,
Just as you trust in me;
Believe, dear child, he loves you well,
And will your father be.
For, when you sought his love,
Your Father up in heaven,
Looked kindly down, for Jesus’ sake,
And has your sins forgiven.
And now, to pray in faith,
Is simply to believe
That what you ask in Jesus’ name,
You surely shall receive.
Go with your simple wants,
And tell him all you need;
Go put your trust in Christ alone,
Such faith is sweet indeed.
BE LIKE JESUS.
“Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus.”
To be like Jesus! O how sweet;
Living on earth as Jesus did—
Never to speak one angry word,
But always do as one is bid.
