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,
      And I can trust.

      "I may not draw aside the mystic veil
      That hides the unknown future from my sight,
      Nor know if for me waits the dark or light;
      But I can trust.

      "I have no power to look across the tide,
      To see while here the land beyond the river;
      But this I , know--I shall be Gods forever;
      So I can trust."

A poem from "Streams in the Desert" for May 15  at least in my edition of the book.
