“For nothing careful be,”
But let thy wants be known
To Him to Whom all power belongs,
Who rules the world alone.
“For nothing careful be,”
Since GOD Himself is thine;
And the rich storehouse of His grace
Yields joys that are divine.
For nothing careful be,”
Since CHRIST thy Saviour lives;
And everything thy soul requires
His love most freely gives.
“For nothing careful be,”
Since God’s own SPIRIT feeds
With “living bread,” and waters sure
And more than meets thy needs.
“For nothing careful be,”
Tho’ dark may be the night;
Compared with Glory’s ceaseless joys,
“Afflictions” are but “light.”
“For nothing careful be,”
Since “all things” now “are yours”;
And endless blessings from above,
God round about thee pours,
“For nothing careful be,”
To Christ dost thou belong;
“A little while” thou’lt see His face,
And He shall be thy song.
