Say not, my soul, “From whence
Can God relieve my care'
Remember that Omnipotence
Hath servants everywhere.

His help is always sure,
His methods seldom guessed;
Surprise will give it zest.
Delay will make our pleasure pure;

His wisdom is sublime,
His heart profoundly kind;
God never is before His time,
And never is behind.

Hast thou assumed a load
Which none will bear with thee'
And art thou bearing it for God,
And shall He fail to see'

- J. J. Lynch
