To Myself


 * Let nothing make thee sad or fretful,
 * Or too regretful;
 * Be still;
 * What God hath ordered must be right;
 * Then find in it thine own delight,
 * My will.


 * Why shouldst thou fill today with sorrow
 * About tomorrow.
 * My heart?
 * One watches all with care most true;
 * Doubt not that he will give thee too
 * Thy part.


 * Only be steadfast; never waver,
 * Nor seek earth's favor,
 * But rest:
 * Thou knowest what God's will must be
 * For all his creatures, so for thee,
 * The best.
