Hymn by Anna L. Waring in 1850

Father, I know that all my life

Is portioned out for me,

And the changes that are sure to come

I do not fear to see;

I ask Thee for a present mind,

Intent on pleasing Thee.

I would not have the restless will

That hurries to and fro,

Seeking for some great thing to do

Or secret thing to know;

I would be treated as a child

And guided where I go.

Wherever in the world I am,

In whatsoever estate,

I have a fellowship with hearts

To keep and cultivate.

"Believe God's word and power more than 

you believe your own feelings and 

experiences."  ~Samuel Rutherford

"One thing, and only one, in this world has 

eternity stamped upon it.  Feelings pass; 

resolves and thoughts pass; opinions 

change.  What you have done last--lasts in 

you.  Through ages, through eternity, what 

you have done for Christ, that, and only that, 

you are. ~Frederick W. Robertson
