I CEASE TO SIGH

Dorothy M. Kiddoo

When circumstances try to press me down,And situations seem a hopeless state,When many minds are clamoring for renownAnd straining to be greater than the great,When unimportant things seem paramountAnd trivial happenings indispensable.

Margaret Osborn

Fear not, O Israel, I the Lord am with thee,Guarding and guiding, comforting My child,Safe in the tumult thy true selfhood hiding,Steering thy bark through waters that are wild.
