With questions fierce and subtle on my way,

And often have but strength to faintly pray;

But I can trust.

I often wonder, as with trembling hand

I cast the seed along the furrowed ground,

If ripened fruit will in my life be found;

But I can trust.

I cannot know why suddenly the storm

Should rage so fiercely round me in its wrath;

But this I know—God watches all my path,
