In Faith Serene
Oh,
not with striving came the demonstration,
The answered prayer, the blessing I had sought;
Not by the mind's intensive concentration
Heading the marshaled regiments of thought,
Through the sheer force of my determination—
Not by such efforts was the healing wrought.
But after all my strength had been expended,
When baffled, beaten, I had turned to rest,
Content, no matter how the struggle ended,
To say, " 'Tis well; my Father knoweth best"—
Ah, then the very dove of peace descended
To find a place of refuge in my breast.
When struggles cease, trusting in God's protection,
Yielding to Him, we find Him ever near;
In faith serene is mirrored God's perfection
Unmarred by human will, undimmed by fear,
As quiet waters hold the sky's reflection
Unruffled, undistorted, still and clear.
