('Oft in danger, oft in woe')
***********
Persevere on here in prayer
Bringing to your Lord each care
Not looking to outward sight
But in faith view inward light
Not give up, not let feelings
Be final say in each thing
But believe we receiving
What we pray for, Him trusting
Whether it be later, now
What time-scale, the Lord knows how
To bring it about, He will
Work His will, His plans fulfil
What we troubled, heart and mind
In our Lord we peace may find
Nothing out of His control
He knows all, entire and whole
