GOD ALL-SUFFICIENT


The world is before me this day,

and I am weak and fearful,

but I look to Thee for strength;

If I venture forth alone I stumble and fall,

but on the Beloved's arms I am firm as the eternal hills;

If left to the treachery of my heart I shall shame Thy name,

but if enlightened, guided, upheld by Thy Spirit,

I shall bring Thee glory.
