In all life thou livest, the true life of all. We blossom and flourish like leaves on the tree, then wither and perish; but naught changeth thee. 4 Thou reignest in glory; thou dwellest in light.

I leave them all with him who blots the record, and graciously forgives, and then forgets. 2 I look not forward; God sees all the future, the road that, short or long, will lead me home, and he will face with me its ev'ry trial, and bear for me the burdens that may come. 3 I look not round me; then would fears assail me, so wild the waves of earth's unruly seas, so dark the world, so filled with woe and evil, so vain the hope of comfort and of ease. 4 I look not inward; that would make me wretched, for I have naught on which to stay my trust. I only see my failures and offenses, and weak endeavors, crumbling into dust. 5 But I look up into the face of Jesus, for there my heart can rest, my fears are stilled; and there is joy, and love, and light for darkness, and perfect peace, and ev'ry hope fulfilled.
