Security

(Isaiah 43:1–3)

WINIFRED MABEL CANN

Oh , sing for joy, blest child of Love's anointing!
Rejoice, fear not, cast all thy cares aside!
Thy God hath called thee, all thy way appointing—
The light of Truth shall be thine angel guide.

He hath redeemed thee: sing aloud in gladness!
Thou art His child, upright, unfallen, free!
Life, Truth, and Love dispel all fear and sadness—
Rise up and greet this wondrous liberty!

The watery depth and dark, swift-flowing river,
The fiery heat of furnace, scorch of flame—
These things shall harm thee not—Love can deliver;
Truth is thy shield. God's power is still the same.

Lo, thou art fashioned for His praise and glory,
Found in His likeness, precious in His sight;
Let all the nations hear Truth's blessed story—
Man dwells in Love! Love is the only might!
