Lord, we plead with thee for pardon;
Who can need it more than we?
Make us as a watered garden!
Fruitful let thy people be;
'Tis thy pleasure
That thy people live to thee.
Keep us in a world of sorrow;
When we call, O hear our prayer!
Let us trust thee for the morrow,
Free from boasting, free from care;
When we trust thee,
Truly happy then we are.
Thomas Kelly (1769-1855)
Always look forward to your Gadsby posting. This one is beautiful.
ReplyDelete"When we trust thee, truly happy we are." Kind of the litmus test of the level of our trust, I think. Good words!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful words! Trusting is a big theme in my quest of no complaining!
