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 wooes 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.
Though man and Satan fight thee with their worst,
Have faith in God!
