Just to let Thy Father do what He will;

Just to know that He is true, and be still.

Just to follow, hour by hour, as He leadeth

Just to draw the moment’s power, as it needeth

Just to trust Him, this is all.

Then the day will surely be Peaceful,

whatso’er befall, bright and

blessed, calm and free.

Just to let Him speak to thee, through His Word,

Watching, that His voice may be clearly heard.

Just to tell Him everything, as it rises,

And at once to bring to Him all surprises.

Just to listen, and to stay where

you cannot miss His voice,

This is all! and thus today, you,

communing, shall rejoice.

Take the training or the task, as He will.

Just to take the loss or gain, as He sends it;

Just to take the joy or pain as He lends it

He who formed thee for His praise will not miss the

gracious aim;

So today, and all thy days, shall be

moulded for the same.

All we cannot understand, all that stings

Just to let Him take the care sorely pressing;

Finding all we let Him bear changed to blessing.

This is all! and yet the way

marked by Him who

loves thee best:

Secret of a happy day, secret of

His promised rest.
