My Father's plan is best, I know,

It will be light, sometime—somewhere—

Care thou for me! Why should I care?

Care Thou for me! Let me not care!

This, each new day, shall be my prayer;

Thou, who canst read my inmost heart,

Dost know I am exceeding frail;

Both just and merciful thou art,

Whose loving kindness ne'er shall fail;

My human nature thou wilt spare;
