Lyrics:
If I forget, yet God remembers!
If these hands of mine cease from their clinging, yet the hands divine hold me so firmly, I cannot fall.
And if sometimes I am too tired to call for Him to help me, then He reads the prayer unspoken in my heart and lifts my care.
I dare not fear, since certainly I know that I am in God's keeping, shielded so from all that else would harm; and in the hour of stern temptation strengthened by His power.
I tread no path in life to Him unknown; I lift no burden, bear no pain alone. My soul a calm, sure hiding-place has found: the everlasting arms my life surround.
God, Thou art love! I build my faith on that. I know Thee who has kept my path, and made light for me in the darkness, tempering sorrow so that it reached me like a solemn joy.
It were too strange that I should doubt Thy love.
Robert Browning
