ELIZABETH S. MC CARTY

When day grows dark, I look to Thee,
And in the very place
Where deepest shadows seemed to be
I see Thee face to face;
Since Thou art Life, Thou fillest space.
Where could the darkness stay?
Its claim destroyed, it leaves no trace
To dim Thy perfect day.

And when I fear, I turn to Thee,
And Io, I hear Thy voice
Speaking to me so tenderly:
Be not afraid! Rejoice!
Since Thou art Love, Thou fillest space,
Fear cannot talk to me;
And knowing that it has no place,
I rest secure in Thee.

In testing times I cling to Thee,
And Thy protecting arm
Lifts me above the storm-tossed sea,
And keeps me from all harm.
Since Thou art Truth, Thou fillest space,
Sin has no power to bind;
And I am free, held by Thy grace
Within eternal Mind.
