Stand Fast

Do not fret when things go wrong,

When the path is rough and the way is long,

When the plans that seemed so bright and fair

Suddenly burst and vanish in air

As sparkling, brilliant bubbles do.

Who made those plans–was it God–or you?

Each Christian to the Lord is known.

He builds a hedge around His own,

And naught can enter in before

The Lord Himself unlocks the door.

Where is your faith, oh doubting one?

Stand fast and say, “Thy will be done!”

Upon His blessed promise rest,

Remembering His will is best.
