O Father, dearest Father
- I rest in You, safe hidden,
O dearest Father mine.
When fears and cares surround me,
in You deep peace I find. - Within Your heart I’m resting;
Your love enfolds me there.
Your heart knows all my suffering
and how much I can bear. - All that will come upon me
I know You’ve planned, O Lord.
The suff’ring that You send me
serves only to my good. - My heart in fear and sorrow
may rest in quietness.
I trust in Your will wholly,
and this is blessedness.From My Father, I Trust You by M. Basilea Schlink
