<p>O Lord! how happy should we be,<br>
If we could leave our cares to Thee,<br>
If we from self could rest;<br>
And feel at heart that One above,<br>
In perfect wisdom, perfect love,<br>
Is working for the best.</p>
<p>For when we kneel and cast our care<br>
Upon our God in humble prayer,<br>
With strengthened souls we rise,<br>
Sure that our Father Who is nigh,<br>
To hear the ravens when they cry,<br>
Will hear His children&#8217;s cries.</p>
<p>O may these anxious hearts of ours<br>
The lesson learn from birds and flowers,<br>
And learn from self to cease,<br>
Leave all things to our Father&#8217;s will,<br>
And in His mercy trusting still,<br>
Find in each trial peace!</p>
