DAYBREAK

Margaret Osborn

Fear not, O Israel, I the Lord am with thee,
Guarding and guiding, comforting My child,
Safe in the tumult thy true selfhood hiding,
Steering thy bark through waters that are wild.

Fear not, O Israel, for the truth is stronger
Than any claim that error's legions make.
Trust in My goodness, wait a little longer;
Fear not, thou child of God, for day will break.

Error is seeming; Truth must be victorious.
Weep not, nor falter, underneath the rod.
Day breaks, and now thy vision must be glorious;
Claim thy true selfhood as the son of God.

Margaret Osborn
