Teach us, Lord ...

The path is steep,
The vales are deep,
And rocks and thorns might make us fall;
And yet, dear Lord,
Within Thy Word
We find provision for it all.

No need to fear,
No need to hear
The mocking taunts of worldly pride;
For day by day
In all our way
We know that Thou art by our side.

Oh Lord! but why
Do we still cry?!?
We seem so frail, so weak and small,
So deaf, so blind,
So slow of mind
To grasp Thy power, our All in All!

Teach us, Lord, to trust and wait…
