Kingdom of Heaven

LORENE H. TROUSDALE

The ways of God are pleasant ways,
His paths are hedged with peace.
This have I learned and daily prove:
As every thought's transformed by Love,
Deep spiritual joys increase.

Outside the secret place may rage
The storms of sense and strife;
But in the knowledge of His power,
Protected, guarded every hour,
I find eternal Life.

An unknown future need not daunt,
Nor fears beset my way.
Serenely journeying with God,
Relying wholly on His Word,
I greet each love-filled day.
