His Rule, How Kind!

CHARLES W. TOWNSEND

How kind the reign of Him who rules above!
His kingdom is a safe and sheltering place,
Where none can ever hide himself from Love
Or wander from his Father's smiling face.

No lack disturbs, since Love supplies all things;
Reflecting Him, man dwells in harmony.
Full peace and righteousness His service brings;
Who Love expresses, is forever free.

So gentle His commands, and kind His voice,
My fears and sorrows I in Him confide;
His benefits my grateful heart rejoice,
For every need I know He will provide.

My joy, in His control, flames high above
What comes to those who dwell where error sways;
His strength shall ample for my weakness prove,
My griefs be met by His defending grace.
