Most simple trust is often highest art.

The issue we would fly may be a seed

Ordained by God to bear our souls a meed

Of peace that no self-judging could impart.

"All things work good for him who trusteth God!"

Doth God not love us with a longing love

To make us happy, and hath he not sight

From end to end of our short earthly road?

This, Lord, I hold—aye, know that thou wouldst move

The world to lead one trusting soul aright.
