GOD KNOWETH BEST, by ANONYMOUS First Line: "precious thought, my father knoweth" Last Line: Must always be best Subject(s): God | |||
Precious thought, my Father knoweth, In His love I rest; For whate'er my Father doeth Must be always best. Well I know the heart that planneth, Nought but good for me; Joy and sorrow interwoven; Love in all I see. Precious thought, my Father knoweth, Careth for His child; Bids me nestle closer to Him When the storm beats wild. Tho' my earthly hopes are shattered, And the tear drops fall, Yet He is Himself my solace, Yea, my Friend, my all. Oh, to trust Him then more fully, Just to simply move In the conscious, calm enjoyment Of the Father's love; Knowing that life's chequered pathway Leadeth to His rest, Satisfied the way He taketh Must be always best. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE MOUNTAIN IS STRIPPED by DAVID IGNATOW AS CLOSE AS BREATHING by MARK JARMAN UNHOLY SONNET 1 by MARK JARMAN UNHOLY SONNET 13 by MARK JARMAN BIRTH-DUES by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE SILENT SHEPHERDS by ROBINSON JEFFERS GOING TO THE HORSE FLATS by ROBINSON JEFFERS TIS A LITTLE JOURNEY by ANONYMOUS |
