BE OF GOOD COURAGE

Rosemary C. Cobham

Be of good courage. When the way is long,Courage will shorten it. Courage is swift and firm;Dwells not with dreams, but stands on what it knows,And in besiegement by a thousand foesLifts heart and voice in song.Courage is strong.

Courage is born of loving God supremely,Knowing Him omnipresent and all-power.Courage is girt with humbleness. SerenelyIt waits the daylight in the darkest hour.Knowing the inevitability of dawn,Courage is not cast down.
