In Heavenly Love Abiding

In heavenly love abiding, no change my heart shall fear;

And safe is such confiding, for nothing changes here;

The storm may roar without me, my heart may low be laid;

But God is round about me, and I can I be dismayed?

Wherever He may guide me, no want shall turn me back;

My Shepherd is beside me, and nothing can I lack

His wisdom ever waketh, His sight is never dim;

He knows the way He taketh, and I will walk with Him.

Green pastures are before me, which yet I have not seen;

Bright skies will soon be o'er me, where darkest clouds have been;

My life I cannot measure, the path of life is free;

My Savior has my treasure, and He will walk with me.

--Anna L. Waring (1823-1910) "In Heavenly Love Abiding"
