| The sorrows that have come to you unbidden Have often brought a peace before unknown; The Maker of your destiny is striving To fit your heart to be His royal throne. |
 |

|
| Thus saith the Lord, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; the Lord of hosts is His name: if those ordinances depart from before Me, saith the Lord, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before Me forever. (Jer. 31:35‑36) |
| My Father, which gave them Me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of My Father’s hand. I and My Father are one. (John 10:29‑30) |
