Show art confidence thou one of those who borrow badness by forecasting sorrow when god sends them joy and cheer are the roses h are given from the flushing brows ot heaven blanched and withered by thy tear why thus brood on future sorrow why not trust in god above in his hands he holds tomorrow in his heart he holds thy love n distress and sore affliction in your pain and dereliction trust in him whose achl d thou art with kind favors he will bless you with great joy he will caress you pillowed on his sacred heart he can level mountain sorrow blaze with light the darkest way trust in him tor joy tomorrow it in pain or grief today teach thy children thus to know him their sweet confidence to show him leaning on his cross divine he their little feet will strengthen he their days and joys will lengthen with tar greater love than thine lite Is not tor gloom or sadness fretted mad with anxious fears god made us for sunny gladness joy that lives beyond the years |
