John Sterling.

Leaning on Him, make with reverent meekness,

His own, thy will;

And with strength from Him shall thy utter weakness

Life’s task fulfil;

And that cloud itself, which now before thee

Lies dark in view,

Shall, with beams of light, for the inner glory,

Be stricken through.

J. G. Whittier.
