GOD CARES

Benjamin H. Woodcock

Dost thou doubt? Doth God seem far apart from thee?Doth a question in thy thought arise?Come, consider these.Clean the gentle, fruitful lessonWhich they yield:A flower, fragrant, fair,Or budded beauty, still to be revealed,A friendly spreading, leafy tree—Or other growing things—Lovely are all three:Flower, bud, or tree.

There is no work nor artHowever skilled the mortal planOr worker's hand or brushThat can compareTo God's eternal Love,His purity sublime.Molded, glowing forth in theseRadiant creations of His design.Lovely are all three:Flower, bud, or tree.
